SpaceX Crew Dragon Crew-1 Relocation ISS Docking 🔴 Live

NASA’s SpaceX Crew-1 astronauts aboard the International Space Station will mark another first for commercial spaceflight Monday, April 5, when the four astronauts will relocate the Crew Dragon spacecraft to prepare for the arrival of new crew members in late April and the upcoming delivery of new solar arrays this summer.

Live coverage will begin at 6 a.m. EDT on NASA Television, the NASA app, and the agency’s website.

NASA astronauts Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover, and Shannon Walker, along with Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Soichi Noguchi, will undock Crew Dragon Resilience from the forward port of the station’s Harmony module at 6:29 a.m. and dock to the space-facing port at 7:15 a.m.

The relocation will free Harmony’s forward port for the docking of Crew Dragon Endeavour, set to carry four crew members to the station on NASA’s SpaceX Crew-2 mission. NASA astronauts Shane Kimbrough and  Megan McArthur, JAXA astronaut Aki Hoshide, and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Thomas Pesquet are scheduled to launch to the station Thursday, April 22, from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The Crew-1 astronauts will depart the station and return to Earth in late April or early May, leaving the space-facing port of Harmony vacant. A Dragon cargo spacecraft carrying several tons of supplies and the first set of new solar arrays for the space station is scheduled to launch this summer, and requires the space-facing port position to enable robotic extraction of the arrays from Dragon’s trunk using Canadarm2.

This will be the first port relocation of a Crew Dragon spacecraft. NASA’s SpaceX Crew-1 mission lifted off Nov. 15, 2020, and docked to the space station Nov. 16. The mission is the first of six certified crew missions NASA and SpaceX planned as a part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program.

The ultimate practical joke in space. "Dude, where's my ride home?"

[northviking]

Watching from Norway. Big Viking-bless from Norway 💖✌️🚀
Favorite spacecraft most be Dragon Crew capsule, until the Starship is ready😉🚀 Yes, I'm an SpaceX fan, but rooting for TeamSpace, all innovations and leeps forward in space is great whatever what company. But most send big regards to SpaceX for showing us the common people, the whole build and test process as they go on. That's juts so much awesomeness to Musk and SpaceX🙏✌️🚀

Dose the question how many rocket launches have you seen include Estes Rockets?

[forgeskygaming]

I can't believe that tory actually read my live chat. Because most of the times youtube only makes it appear for me

[bobbarclay]

Question: If this went all haywire, and the crew were unable to redock, could they return to earth?

[bobbarclay]

Its ironic. In space things move really fast, but everything you do with those things happens really really Did anyone else try the cool docking simulator?

[tjguy]

How do they dock onto something thats supposedy moving 17, 000mph? Oh yeah they use their imagination and cgi to make the sheeple think space exists lol
