SpaceX announced the liftoff of Crew-13 on October 1, 2026, from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral, sending a Falcon 9 and Crew Dragon to the ISS with four astronauts for a six-month Expedition 75 mission.
The crew consists of NASA Commander Jessica Watkins (second flight, first NASA astronaut to fly Crew Dragon twice), Pilot Luke Delaney (first flight), CSA's Joshua Kutryk (first Canadian on Commercial Crew), and Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Teteryatnikov (first flight).
The mission focuses on science experiments including stem-cell research for heart disease and Parkinson's, blood flow studies, crop production, and medical diagnostics to benefit Earth and prepare for future Moon/Mars exploration.
America makes Space History AGAIN with NASA's Crew-13 docking at the International Space Station in UNDER 8 HOURS.Not long ago, that same trip took several days. Four astronauts are now up there for 6 MONTHS.Human-body studies. Crop production on a spacecraft, so a Mars run has real food instead of a supply prayer.
Also three hours after Crew-13 blasted off, SpaceX launched a Falcon rocket from California with more than 100 mini satellites. Another Falcon was set to soar late Thursday night from Florida, with a classified satellite for the National Reconnaissance Office. All this comes the same week that the company’s massive Starship reached orbit for the first time.
