After a 27.5-hour journey, the SpaceX Crew Dragon Resilience spacecraft has docked with the International Space Station. The four astronauts – Victor Glover, Mike Hopkins, Shannon Walker, and Soichi Noguchi – will join Kate Rubins, Sergey Ryzhikov and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, thus expanding the Expedition 64 crew to seven. They will remain at the ISS for six-months, while Soyuz MS-17 will return the Roscosmos cosmonauts to Earth in April 2021. Read more for two videos and additional information.
