A little less than 19 hours after launch, SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule docked with the International Space Station.
SpaceX’s Crew Dragon astronaut capsule successfully docked with the International Space Station on Sunday morning a little less than 19 hours after its historic launch from Florida.
The capsule autonomously attached itself to the space station in a “soft capture” at 7:16 a.m. Pacific time. “Hard capture” occurred about 10 minutes later, meaning the capsule firmly attached to the station via 12 latches to create an air-tight seal between Crew Dragon and the space station. NASA astronaut Bob Behnken, who is aboard the capsule with astronaut Doug Hurley, gave a thumbs up moments after the hard capture occurred.Get our Boiling Point newsletter for the latest on the power sector, water wars and more — and what they mean for California.
