SpaceX’s Crew-9 mission, a two-person capsule named Freedom, is set to arrive at the International Space Station (ISS) today. The docking is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. EDT and can be watched live via NASA+, the agency’s website, and Space.com. Crew-9 launched from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Saturday, sending astronaut Nick Hague and cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov into orbit. This mission is notable for its reduced crew size to accommodate two other astronauts already on the ISS who need a ride home. The duo of Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams will return with Crew-9 in February 2025.
