A record-breaking sprint to the International Space Station
In short: Watch NASA's briefing on the SpaceX Crew-13 mission, featuring the fastest launch-to-docking sequence in the history of the International Space Station.
The video covers a news conference regarding the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft carrying astronauts Jessica Watkins, Luke Delaney, Joshua Kutryk, and Sergey Teteryatnikov. The mission is notable for its rapid transit, with the crew spending just under 8 hours in orbit phasing before targeting a 7 p.m. docking at the Harmony module's space-facing port.
The briefing also previews a separate SpaceX cargo delivery scheduled for April 14, which will transport approximately 2.4 tons of scientific investigations and technology demonstrations to the station.
