The mission will transit to the International Space Station over approximately 39 hours, a record for Crew Dragon docking time.

NASA and SpaceX are gearing up for another milestone moment as they prepare to launch the Crew‑11 mission to the International Space Station (ISS) this Thursday. This mission marks the next exciting chapter in their partnership to support long-duration human spaceflight and cutting-edge research in low-Earth orbit.

When it launches, Crew-11 will embark on a roughly 40-hour flight to catch up with the International Space Station, orbiting at a speed of about 17,500 mph (28,000 kph) some 248 miles (400 kilometers) above the surface of Earth.
