NASA Sets Crew-13 Launch, Docking Coverage
Developing
In Short: NASA announced that it will offer continuous live coverage of the SpaceX Crew-13 mission, barring unforeseen technical issues, starting approximately two hours before the launch.
The Crew-13 mission is set to launch at 11:10 a.m. Eastern time from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft will transport NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Joshua Kutryk, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Teteryatnikov to the International Space Station.
Coverage will include prelaunch activities, the launch itself, and docking operations, which are scheduled to occur around 7 p.m. Eastern time.
For those wishing to participate in the news conference via phone, the dial-in number and passcode can be obtained by contacting the NASA Kennedy newsroom no later than one hour before the start of the conference.
After the launch, NASA will provide audio-only discussions between the Crew-13 astronauts, the space station crew, and flight controllers during the Dragon spacecraft's transit to the orbital complex.
What's still developing
- Pending unlikely technical issues, the feed will be uninterrupted until the prelaunch broadcast begins on NASA+, approximately two hours prior to launch.
