Following a successful launch on Oct. 13, 2026, an uncrewed SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft will plan to rendezvous with and dock to the International Space Station. The spacecraft, which is carrying over 6,300 pounds of supplies, is scheduled to dock autonomously at about 10:30 a.m. EDT (1430 UTC). In addition to cargo for the crew aboard the space station, Dragon will deliver several new science experiments that could help restore vision for people on Earth with artificial eye retinas, develop more realistic heart tissue models for disease research, and identify new treatment targets for diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis. Dragon is scheduled to remain at the space station for one month before undocking and splashing down off the coast of California.

For ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot, her first steps into space were only the beginning. In less than 15 days, she performed three extravehicular activities, or EVAs, spending 19 hours and 42 minutes outside the International Space Station. Across three demanding spacewalks, Sophie and her crewmates replaced critical Station hardware, installed a new communications antenna, carried out maintenance, and prepared experiments for future work, all while adapting to the challenges of working in the extreme environment of space. From her very first spacewalk to leading her third as EV1, Sophie demonstrated what it takes to work beyond Earth: technical skill, perseverance, adaptability, and trust in the teams supporting you.
