The four members of NASA's SpaceX Crew-13 mission arrived at the International Space Station on Oct. 1, bringing the number of people living aboard to 11, NASA reported on Oct. 2. The Dragon spacecraft flight from Florida took a record-setting 7 hours and 55 minutes.

NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney, CSA astronaut Joshua Kutryk and Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Teteryatnikov are spending their first days adapting to weightlessness and learning station systems. On Oct. 3 they planned to unpack Dragon, move standard safety gear into the spacecraft and review emergency roles.

On Oct. 4, departing Crew-12 members were scheduled to hand over mission responsibilities, and NASA astronaut Jessica Meir planned to transfer station command to Roscosmos cosmonaut Pyotr Dubrov at a ceremony starting at 10:20 a.m. EDT.

Crew-12's Jessica Meir, Jack Hathaway, Sophie Adenot and Andrey Fedyaev have been packing cargo, configuring Dragon systems and testing pressure suits. NASA and SpaceX are monitoring weather off the California coast, with briefings planned over the weekend. Weather permitting, the crew could begin the trip home as early as Monday, Oct. 5.
