NASA to move SpaceX Dragon to new port at space station: How to watch | Space

• The Dragon spacecraft is famous as the vehicle selected by NASA to bring home Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore after the agency determined that the Boeing Starliner was unsafe for its crew.
• NASA will provide live coverage of the relocation Sunday morning on NASA+.

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station plan to find a new docking port for a SpaceX Dragon in order to make way for an uncrewed NASA vehicle on a resupply mission.

The Dragon spacecraft reached the station Sept. 29 with two spacefarers who are part of a commercial mission known as Crew-9. While the SpaceX missions commissioned by NASA have become routine in recent years, this particular venture garnered attention since it involved the vehicle that in February will bring home the Boeing Starliner astronauts.

The capsule, which docked at the space station’s Harmony module’s forward-facing port, is now set to be relocated Sunday to the module’s space-facing port. Such maneuvers have become common at the space station since NASA began its commercial crew program in 2021.
