SpaceX has transported the Crew Dragon capsule to launch complex 40 at Cape Canaveral. This stage marks a critical step in preparations for the upcoming Crew-13 mission to the International Space Station.

The mission is currently scheduled for launch on October 1, 2026. The crew will consist of four astronauts: Jessica Watkins, Luke Delaney, Joshua Kutryk, and Sergey Teteriatnikov.

The spacecraft assigned to this flight is a reused capsule that previously supported the Crew-4 mission. Before the scheduled launch date, teams must complete final checks on both the vehicle and ground infrastructure.
