If all goes well, the crew will dock at the ISS. The four Crew-11 astronauts will be relieving Crew-10, who will return to Earth a few days later.
According to SpaceX, during their time on the orbiting laboratory, the astronauts will conduct new research to prepare for human exploration beyond low-Earth orbit and to benefit humanity on Earth.
