SpaceX will dock with the International Space Station for the third time with their Crew Dragon capsule carrying 4 astronauts. The docking procedures and hatch opening will be preceded by a number of phasing and approach burns on the Crew Dragon capsule to complete the docking autonomously.

SpaceX launched the second operational mission of its Crew Dragon vehicle as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Transportation Capability Program (CCtCap), carrying two NASA astronauts, one JAXA astronaut, and one ESA astronaut to the International Space Station. This mission is the third crewed flight to launch from the United States since the end of the Space Shuttle program in 2011. In May 2020, DM-2 demonstrated the Falcon 9 and Crew Dragon’s ability to safely transport crew to the space station and back to Earth and was the last major milestone for certification of Crew Dragon. This NASA mission is expected to last around six months and the astronauts will return around October 2021.
