Humans have entered SpaceX’s Crew Dragon while in orbit for the first time, just hours after the commercial spacecraft docked at the International Space Station on Sunday morning.
SpaceX’s Crew Dragon crew capsule successfully dock at the International Space Station (ISS) at 5:51 a.m. EST (1051 GMT) Sunday morning, March 3,2019, about 27 hours after launching into orbit from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.
Crew Dragon linked up with the docking port on the space station’s Harmony module as the two spacecraft sailed 250 miles (402 kilometers) over the Pacific Ocean over New Zealand, according to Space.com.
“Congratulations to all the teams on a successful docking,” NASA astronaut Anne McClain radioed Mission Control from aboard the space station.
