SpaceX-18 (SpX-18) Arrival at ISS, July 27, 2019, Earth orbit, 10:00 am ET (NASA TV)

SpaceX launched its 18th operational cargo mission to the International Space Station (ISS) on July 25, 2019.  The Dragon capsule will arrive at the ISS about 10:00 am ET on July 27 where it will be grappled by astronauts onboard the space station using the robotic Canadarm2.  NASA TV will cover the arrival.

Dragon is delivering about 5,000 pounds of equipment, scientific experiments and crew supplies, including the International Docking Adapter-3 (IDA-3).   That will be attached to the outside of the ISS and will allow SpaceX and Boeing commercial crew vehicles to dock there.  One IDA is already attached.  Another was lost during SpaceX’s only launch failure in this series of ISS resupply missions, SpX-7.
