BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – SpaceX is targeting Sunday, August 24 for Falcon 9’s launch of Dragon’s 33rd Commercial Resupply Services (CRS-33) mission to the International Space Station from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

Liftoff is targeted for 2:45 a.m. ET, with a backup launch opportunity available on Monday, August 25 at 2:22 a.m. ET if needed.

CRS-33 is the third flight for the Dragon spacecraft supporting this mission, which previously flew CRS-26 and CRS-29 to and from the space station.

After an approximate 28-hour flight, Dragon will autonomously dock with the orbiting laboratory on Monday, August 25 at approximately 7:30 a.m. ET.

This will be the seventh flight of the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched O3b mPOWER-E, Crew-10, Bandwagon-3, O3b mPOWER-D, and two Starlink missions.

Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
