NASA’s live coverage of undocking and departure of the agency’s SpaceX 33rd Commercial Resupply Services mission is underway on NASA+. Learn how to watch NASA content through a variety of platforms.
The unpiloted SpaceX Dragon spacecraft will undock at 12:05 p.m. EST from the forward-facing port of the International Space Station’s Harmony module and fire its thrusters to move safely away from the orbiting complex. NASA will not stream splashdown but will post updates on its space station blog.
The Dragon spacecraft supporting the mission also introduced a new capability to reboost the space station, helping maintain its altitude and counter atmospheric drag, which is critical for safe operations and the long-term sustainability of the orbital complex. During its time docked to the station, Dragon performed six reboosts — five in 2025 and a final maneuver on Jan. 23 — before preparations for its departure began.
Loaded with thousands of pounds of crew supplies, science experiments, and equipment, the spacecraft arrived at the station Aug. 25, 2025. It launched a day earlier on a Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida for NASA’s 33rd SpaceX Commercial Resupply Services mission.
