SpaceX’s Crew4 astronauts have safely boarded the ISS on Wednesday after a 16-hour ride to the orbiting laboratory — the fastest Crew Dragon trip to date.
SpaceX’s Crew-4 astronauts have safely boarded the International Space Station after a 16-hour ride to the orbiting laboratory — the fastest Crew Dragon trip to the facility yet.
NASA livestreamed the autonomous docking process, and also the moment when the new crewmembers entered the ISS through the connecting hatch. Waiting to greet them was the current seven-person ISS crew from the U.S., Germany, and Russia. With 11 people now aboard the space station, the facility will feel more crowded than usual. However, some space will open up soon when the four Crew-3 astronauts return to Earth in the coming days following a six-month stint in space.
