SpaceX Crew-13 is the thirteenth operational NASA Commercial Crew Program flight and the 21st crewed orbital flight of a Crew Dragon spacecraft. The mission will transport four crew members—NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney, CSA astronaut Joshua Kutryk, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Teteryatnikov—to the International Space Station (ISS).[2]

NASA announced the crew assignments for Crew-13 on April 23, 2026 consisting of NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins, a geologist, and Luke Delaney, a former naval aviator, alongside CSA astronaut Joshua Kutryk, a fighter pilot, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Teteryatnikov, a submariner.[2][3] Besides Watkins, who flew on SpaceX Crew-4, this will be the first mission to space for the remaining astronauts.[3] Kutryk is the first Canadian to be sent to orbit as part of the Commercial Crew Program.[3][a]

The 13th operational SpaceX mission under NASA's Commercial Crew Program was scheduled to launch on September 12, 2026,[2] but a leak in Grace's oxidizer tank has delayed the launch.[4][5] After the leak was discovered, Delaney noted that "The numeral significance was not lost on us" and that they are "leveraging th[e] heritage" of Apollo 13.[6] The crew went into a final quarantine starting on September 17 as the scheduled launch slipped to October.[1][7]
