Watch astronauts’ tour of Crew Dragon spacecraft as it heads to ISS

Live from Space: Video Inside the SpaceX's Dragon Resilience Spacecraft

“Good morning, good afternoon, good evening,” Crew Dragon commander Michael Hopkins said as he welcomed space fans around the world to the SpaceX capsule, which is currently heading toward the International Space Station.

Dressed in more comfortable gear than the spacesuits they used for the launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Sunday, the astronauts, who besides Hopkins include Victor Glover, Shannon Walker, and Soichi Noguchi, gave earthlings a tour of the capsule, which is currently on its first operational mission following a successful astronaut test flight over the summer.

The tour (top) of the surprisingly roomy capsule shows everything from the touch panels and storage areas to the entry/exit hatches and “other creatures” that have gone along for the ride.

At the end of the video you’ll get to witness a special presentation ceremony for NASA’s Victor Glover to mark his very first time in space.

The Crew Dragon is scheduled to dock with the space station at around 8 p.m. PT on Monday, November 16 — so only a few hours to go.

The four astronauts will stay aboard the orbiting outpost for the next six months, living and working alongside the three current inhabitants — astronaut Kate Rubins, and Russian cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov — as part of Expedition 64.

This month the ISS is celebrating 20 years of continuous human habitation aboard the space station. These videos, created by past visitors to the ISS, offer some insight into daily life on the ISS, and include a step-by-step demonstration of how astronauts go to the bathroom in space (the most commonly asked question, apparently).

After a nine-month stay that was only supposed to last eight days, NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore have finally left the International Space Station (ISS) and are on their way home.

Seated inside a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft alongside fellow NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov, Williams and Wilmore undocked from the orbital outpost at 1:05 a.m. ET on Tuesday, March 18.

SpaceX's Crew-10 arriving at the ISS in March 2025.

Space station astronaut Don Pettit has shared a cool time-lapse of SpaceX’s Crew-10 Crew Dragon spacecraft arriving at the orbital facility on Sunday.

The footage, which runs more quickly than the actual speed, shows the capsule approaching the docking port on the International Space Station (ISS), which orbits at around 250 miles above Earth. Pettit posted a short and long version of the spacecraft's autonomous approach:

Watch SpaceX launch a relief crew for ‘stuck’ Starliner astronauts
At 7:03 p.m. EDT, the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft, carrying NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov, launched from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Friday, March 14, 2025..

Four astronauts are on their way to the International Space Station (ISS). After several delays, the members of Crew-10 lifted off in a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft using a Falcon 9 rocket from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 7:03 p.m. ET on Saturday night. The crew includes NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov.

“Congratulations to our NASA and SpaceX teams on the 10th crew rotation mission under our commercial crew partnership. This milestone demonstrates NASA’s continued commitment to advancing American leadership in space and driving growth in our national space economy,” said NASA acting Administrator Janet Petro. “Through these missions, we are laying the foundation for future exploration, from low Earth orbit to the Moon and Mars. Our international crew will contribute to innovative science research and technology development, delivering benefits to all humanity.”
