On Saturday, November 26, SpaceX is preparing to launch a freshly constructed Cargo Dragon spacecraft on a supply mission to the International Space Station (ISS). As per customary, SpaceX will stream the initial portions of the voyage live, showcasing how its powerful Falcon 9 rocket propelled the Cargo Dragon spacecraft into orbit for its initial trip to the International Space Station. Details on how to follow SpaceX's 26th Commercial Resupply Services (CRS-26) mission as it launches are provided below. This particular spacecraft's (C211) inaugural flight will take place, making it SpaceX's third second-generation cargo spaceship. In December 2020, the first iteration of the new design made its first voyage to the space station. With the addition of Saturday's trip, SpaceX's fleet of Dragon 2 cargo capsules to the International Space Station now stands at three.

Additionally, SpaceX has four Crew Dragon spacecraft and intends to construct a fifth. 2020 marked the beginning of crewed missions to the ISS, and SpaceX has since launched six astronauts to the station.

How to see?

SpaceX is presently planning to launch from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 2:20 p.m. ET on Saturday, November 26, following launch delays earlier in the week. If Saturday's launch is postponed for any reason, a backup launch window is scheduled for 1:58 p.m. ET on November 27. On Twitter, SpaceX will post updates regarding flight readiness. The mission will be streamed live on SpaceX's YouTube channel, which you may access by visiting or using the player at the top of this page. Real-time video of the ascent, as well as images of the first-stage separation and spacecraft deployment, will be available from a number of cameras on the ground and on the Falcon 9 rocket itself. The live broadcast will also provide coverage of the first-stage booster making an upright landing on the Just Read the Instructions droneship positioned in the Atlantic Ocean. On Sunday, November 27, at roughly 7:30 a.m. ET, the Dragon spacecraft is planned to dock with the space station by itself.
