SpaceX Dragon Undocks for Short Ride to New Port

The SpaceX Dragon Freedom spacecraft is pictured docked to the International Space Station as it soared 257 miles above Hurricane Milton in the Gulf of Mexico on Oct. 8, 2024.

The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, with Expedition 72 crew members NASA astronauts Nick Hague, Suni Williams, and Butch Wilmore, as well as Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov, undocked from the forward-facing port of the station's Harmony module at 6:35 a.m. EST, to autonomously redock with the module's space-facing port.

Redocking is planned at 7:18 a.m. NASA coverage continues live on NASA+. Learn how to watch NASA content through a variety of platforms, including social media.

This is the fifth port relocation of a Dragon spacecraft with crew aboard following previous moves during the Crew-1, Crew-2, Crew-6, and Crew-8 missions.
