SpaceX Dragon docks at ISS with more than 6,300 pounds of cargo, NASA confirms

NASA confirms Dragon docking time and port

NASA reported that a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft docked autonomously with the International Space Station at 10:27 a.m. EDT on 15 October 2026. The spacecraft reached the space-facing port of the Harmony module carrying more than 6,300 pounds of food, supplies and science equipment for the Expedition 75 crew.

Solar arrays and science cargo aboard

The 35th commercial resupply services mission for NASA also delivered the final pair of International Space Station Roll-Out Solar Arrays, or IROSAs. These arrays are planned for installation later in the year and will support the station’s power system.

What the ISS crew does after arrival

The mission launched on 13 October from Cape Canaveral aboard a Falcon 9 rocket. Delivery is only one stage of the work: crew members must unpack equipment, run studies and prepare completed experiments for return. NASA’s dated station blog provides the primary confirmation.
