On Thursday, November 11 at 6:32 p.m. EST, SpaceX’s Dragon autonomously docked with the International Space Station (ISS). Falcon 9 launched the spacecraft to orbit from historic Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Wednesday, November 10 at 9:03 p.m. EST.

After an approximate six-month stay, Dragon and the Crew-3 astronauts will depart the orbiting laboratory no earlier than late April 2022 for return to Earth and splashdown off the coast of Florida.
