The Crew Dragon spacecraft will autonomously link up with a new docking port on the forward end International Space Station's Harmony module, the same location once used by visiting space shuttles. Commercial crew capsules built by SpaceX and Boeing use a different docking system than the shuttle, so NASA developed a new docking mechanism called the International Docking Adapter, and installed it over the old shuttle port.

Crew Dragon has arrived at Waypoint 0 around 400 meters, or 1,300 feet, below the International Space Station. The next step in today's rendezvous will be for the capsule to maneuver to a position 150 meters, or about 500 feet, in front of the station.
