The 11:10 launch already ran. The LRR go already ran. This is Thursday’s unused hard dock.
NASA Space Station blog, “Dragon Docks Bringing SpaceX Crew-13 to Station,” Oct. 1: NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney, CSA’s Joshua Kutryk, and Roscosmos’s Sergey Teteryatnikov arrived at the International Space Station at 7 p.m. EDT, docking to the Harmony module’s forward port. NASA: at 7 hours 55 minutes, this marked the fastest launch-to-docking of a U.S. spacecraft in ISS history. The crew will begin leak checks and pressurization ahead of hatch opening, planned for about 8:45 p.m. That is a dock we can timestamp. It is not midday’s unused 11:10 liftoff reprinted, and it is not a hatch we watched.
Same NASA file: Dragon approached with its nose cone open. Midday already filed CBS, William Harwood, 11:57 a.m.: Falcon 9 lifted 11:10 from SLC-40, Crew Dragon Grace, first-stage landing, docking then still a 7 p.m. target. Wednesday already filed the LRR go. We will not reprint 11:10 as first-day news, and we will not type welcome remarks or an open hatch this board does not have. 8:45 is still a plan. A dock is not the launch and not hatch.
What this means for you
If you needed this afternoon’s unused liftoff, it still stands as 11:10. If you needed tonight’s unused science, it is 7 p.m., Harmony forward, 7 hours 55 minutes. Not hatch. Not the LRR.
Bottom line: Crew-13 docked 7 p.m. 7 hours 55 minutes. Hatch ~8:45 listed. Not 11:10 reprinted. Not hatch.
