Dragon Undocking Moves to 8:55 A.M. EDT Today
NASA's live coverage continues as four crew members aboard the International Space Station take a short trip inside the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft to relocate from one docking port to another.
Following an initial, unexpected slow decrease in cabin pressure, delaying undocking, SpaceX determined that the cabin pressure trend is understood and nominal. Undocking is now scheduled for 8:55 a.m. EDT with redocking planned at 9:38 a.m. Relocation activities will continue to air live on NASA+, NASA Television, the NASA app, YouTube, and the agency's website.

Expedition 71 crew members NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, and Jeanette Epps, as well as Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin, will undock from the forward-facing port of the station's Harmony module, and autonomously redock with the module's space-facing port.
As the 28th spacecraft relocation in station history, the move makes room for the arrival of the uncrewed SpaceX Dragon carrying cargo to station as part of the company's 31st commercial resupply services mission for NASA, targeted to launch in August.
