SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule successfully docks with ISS
SpaceX's new Crew Dragon capsule has arrived at the International Space Station, acing its second milestone in just over a day. No one was on board the capsule launched on Saturday on its first test flight, only an instrumented dummy. But the three station astronauts had front-row seats as the Dragon neatly docked on Sunday morning and became the first American-made, designed-for-crew spacecraft to pull up in eight years. If the six-day demo goes well, SpaceX could launch two astronauts this summer under NASA's commercial crew programme. Both astronauts were at SpaceX Mission Control in California, observing all the action.
