Dragon will autonomously dock with the space station on Monday, May 22 at approximately 9:16 a.m. ET (13:16 UTC).
During their time on the orbiting laboratory, the crew will conduct over 20 science and technology experiments in areas such as human physiology, physical sciences, and STEAM to help expand knowledge to benefit life on Earth in areas such as healthcare, materials, technology development, and enable industrial advances.
The webcast will resume approximately two hours prior to docking.
