Space company SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft, which was launched on Saturday, has docked at the international space station ISS, Nasa and SpaceX say.
The four-person ship carried only two astronauts to the ISS, so that the Nasa astronauts stuck on the ISS for months By Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams can fit on the ship’s return flight.
The Crew Dragon ship will return to Earth in February, when the command of the astronauts who have now been transported to the space station ends.
Wilmore and Williams participated in the test flight of the Boeing-made spacecraft in June. However, the duo’s ship returned to Earth without its crew early due to safety concerns.
