A little while ago, SpaceX’s Dragon 2 spacecraft docked with the International Space Station’s Harmony module, completing the first part of its CRS-35 mission. Astronaut Anil Menon and his colleague Joshua Kutryk monitored the operation, but the cargo spacecraft, which blasted off almost exactly two days earlier, completed the maneuvers automatically without any problem. The Dragon spacecraft arrived about half an hour earlier than the time scheduled originally.

A little while ago, the SpaceX Dragon 2 spacecraft blasted off atop a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral in its CRS-35 (Cargo Resupply Service 35) mission, also referred to as SPX-35. After almost 12 minutes, it separated successfully from the rocket’s last stage and went en route. This is the 35th mission for the Dragon/Dragon 2 spacecraft to resupply the International Space Station with various cargoes and then return to Earth, again with various cargoes.

A little while ago, SpaceX’s Crew Dragon Freedom spacecraft completed its Crew-12, or SpaceX Crew-12, mission for NASA with a successful splashdown. Aboard were astronauts Jessica Meir, Jack Hathaway, and Sophie Adenot, and cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev, who had arrived at the International Space Station on February 14, 2026, as part of Expedition 74/75. The Crew-12 members completed SpaceX’s 12th regular crewed mission in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of California. The Crew Dragon had left the Station approximately 27 hours earlier.

A few hours ago, SpaceX’s Crew Dragon Grace spacecraft docked with the Harmony module of the International Space Station, completing the first part of its Crew-13 or SpaceX Crew-13 mission that began with its launch about 8 hours earlier. After checking that the pressure is properly balanced, the hatch will be opened to allow Jessica Watkins, Luke Delaney, Joshua Kutryk, and Sergey Teteryatnikov to enter the Station and start their mission.

It was the morning in the USA when SpaceX conducted a new flight test of its Super Heavy rocket and Starship prototypes, launched from its base in Boca Chica, Texas. This is the 14th test involving the entire system of Elon Musk’s company, which is supposed to revolutionize space travel with an unprecedented transport capacity and be totally reusable. They are prototypes advanced enough to conduct an orbital mission and the deployment of real Starlink V3 satellites. In this flight, the Super Heavy was identified as Booster 21 and the Starship was identified as Starship 40 or Ship41 or simply S41.
