How long does it take for Dragon to reach ISS?

I should be able to see ISS tomorrow night from my location. Do you know if I would be able to see Dragon too?



In the webcast they said that if you can see is ISS you'll see it


Rendezvous isn't scheduled until the 22nd, so there will likely still be quite a distance between the ISS and Dragon tomorrow. They will be in trail, while the Earth rotates, so depending on where the ISS passes relative to you there's a possibility the Earth might have rotated enough by the time Dragon comes around to not see it. It's definitely worth keeping a look out though.
