DESCRIPTION:Update\, October 1\, 11:30 pm ET:  Liftoff was on-time at 11:10 am ET. Docking is at 7:00 pm ET\, the fastest Crew Dragon trip to ISS so far. NASA/SpaceX docking coverage begins at 5:20 pm ET. \nUpdate\, September 29:  The weather forecast for launch on October 1 at 11:10 am ET is 60 percent favorable. \nNASA coverage of launch\, the post-launch news conference\, arrival and docking\, and hatch opening and welcome remarks is as follows. Check NASA Live for links to where the livestreams will be available. \nLaunch coverage begins at 9:20 am ET. \nA post-launch news conference is scheduled for 12:45 pm ET with these participants: \n\nNASA Administrator Jared Isaacman\nDr. Lori Glaze\, associate administrator\, Human Spaceflight Mission Directorate\, NASA Headquarters\nDana Weigel\, manager\, Low Earth Orbit Program\, NASA Johnson\nMathieu Caron\, director\, Astronauts\, Life Sciences\, and Space Medicine\, CSA\nJulianna Scheiman\, director\, NASA Science and Dragon Programs\, SpaceX\n\nArrival and docking coverage begins at: \n\n5:20 pm ET for docking at 7:00 pm ET. \n8:45 pm ET for hatch opening and welcome remarks.\n\nUpdate\, September 22:  NASA confirms the launch is scheduled for October 1\, 2026 at 11:10 am ET\, weather permitting.  Live NASA coverage begins at 9:20 am ET. Check NASA Live for the link to the livestream. \nIf the launch takes place that day\, docking will be about 9 hours later at 8:00 pm ET. \nUpdate\, September 21: unofficial reports indicate October 1 is the target date. NASA has not said anything\, but it fits with the 14-day quarantine period so we are changing our placeholder date to that\, but it is still just a placeholder. \nUpdate\, September 17: The crew has entered quarantine\, usually a 14-day pre-launch period\, but does not necessarily mean they’ll launch 14 days later. \n \nUpdate\, September 16:  NASA now says the launch will be “as soon as early October.”  We’re using October 3 as a placeholder\, but that’s all it is\, not a date announced by NASA. \n\n.@NASA and @SpaceX are now targeting as soon as early October for the launch of the Crew-13 mission to allow for completion of prelaunch activities\, readiness reviews\, and coordination of space station operations. The team successfully replaced an oxidizer valve in Dragon’s… pic.twitter.com/uCzajccqo2 \n— International Space Station (@Space_Station) September 16\, 2026 \n\nUpdate\, September 2:  NASA says: “NASA’s SpaceX Crew-13 mission now is targeted to launch no earlier than late September to the International Space Station. A new target launch date will be shared once confirmed.”   [We’re randomly choosing September 25 as a placeholder for the purpose of keeping it on this Calendar.] \nUpdate\, August 29:  NASA said today that the launch will slip because of an oxidizer leak on Crew Dragon’s propulsion system detected during prelaunch processing. A new date will be announced when available. \nOriginal Entry: NASA and SpaceX are targeting no earlier than (NET) September 12\, 2026 at 6:30 pm ET for the launch of Crew-13 to the International Space Station from SpaceX’s Space Launch Complex-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. \nThe crew is: \n\nJessica Watkins\, NASA\, commander\nLuke Delaney\, NASA\, pilot\nJoshua Kutryk\, Canadian Space Agency\, mission specialist\nSergey Teteryatnikov\, Roscosmos\, mission specialist
