Destination: @Space_Station📍 NASA’s SpaceX Crew-13 mission has successfully launched! The Dragon spacecraft carrying the crew is set to dock at about 7pm ET (2300 UTC) tonight, kicking off several months of scientific exploration. Watch with us here! go.nasa.gov/4xS9r7L
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with the company's Dragon spacecraft on top is seen at sunset on the launch pad. The sky is mostly covered with different kinds of clouds: thick, fluffy ones at the bottom and wider, more spread out ones in the rest of the sky. The Sun's light turns the bottom right portion of the sky orange.

Joshua Kutryk is about to embark on an extraordinary journey: living and working in space for months. It’s a dream come true, but getting there has taken years of hard work, determination, and the support of so many people along the way.

.@NASA and @SpaceX are now targeting as soon as early October for the launch of the Crew-13 mission to allow for completion of prelaunch activities, readiness reviews, and coordination of space station operations. The team successfully replaced an oxidizer valve in Dragon’s propulsion system after a leak was detected earlier in processing.

Today, I am sharing a significant next step in my journey. This September, after 32 years of military service and 17 years as a Canadian Space Agency astronaut—culminating in the incredible privilege of flying around the Moon on Artemis II—I will be transitioning from my full-time role at the CSA. This is far from a departure. My commitment to seeing Canada thrive remains absolute. To ensure continuity in this mission, the Royal Canadian Air Force is enabling my transition into a Reservist role. This unique position is a deliberate launchpad designed to leave the door open for creative, ongoing ways to support and enable the vital work happening in Canada with respect to space, and I’m excited for the new challenges it will bring. Our future depends on a fierce continuation of Canadian innovation and exploration in space. The technological breakthroughs and economic benefits born from this sector are vital for our country and the world, and I am as determined as ever to push that work forward. To the Canadian Armed Forces, the CSA, NASA, our international partners, and my family: thank you. And to all Canadians: thank you for believing in what our country can achieve when we aim high. The mission continues. 🇨🇦

There is a lot going on right now on the @Space_Station, but fortunately we are all safe and witnessed a spectacular southern aurora show yesterday thanks to a recent solar event.
