The crew members of NASA’s SpaceX Crew‑13 mission are set to touch down at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center at approximately 1 p.m. EDT on Saturday, Sept. 26, after flying in, arriving from the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston to begin their final days of launch preparations.
Watch the crew’s arrival live on NASA Kennedy’s YouTube channel. NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney, CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Joshua Kutryk, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Teteryatnikov will deliver brief remarks and take questions from media before heading to Astronaut Crew Quarters at Kennedy.
The crew’s arrival marks the start of an intensive period of suit checks, equipment reviews, and mission briefings as the crew prepares for their upcoming journey to the International Space Station. The crew will continue its quarantine protocols and complete final preflight operations, building on weeks of training and readiness milestones leading up to launch, targeted for no earlier than 11:10 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 1.
Continuing updates throughout launch week will be posted on the mission blog, @NASAKennedy on X, or NASA Kennedy on Facebook.
