The ship was successfully assembled with the Station.

SpaceX’s Crew Dragon has completed the mission of bringing four astronauts to the ISS International Space Station for the first time. After 27 hours from the time of departure, the Crew-1 mission brought a group of multinational astronauts to the ISS at 11:00 a.m. Vietnam time. Four astronauts preparing to step into the station are Victor Glover, Mike Hopkins and Shannon Walker working at NASA and Professor Soichi Noguchi working at the JAXA Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. Crew Dragon in the cabin also has a dummy “baby Yoda” – a cult character in the series The Mandalorian produced by Disney – with ” mission” to determine the state of zero gravity in the compartment.

The Crew Dragon ship was individually named Resilience – Kien Cuong followed the Falcon 9 rocket into orbit yesterday, and successfully assembled with the International Space Station this morning. The collaboration of NASA and SpaceX has yielded the first fruits; This will be the first flight in a series of six human-rotating missions on the Station.

The assembly is complete.

This is also the first time that the “population” of outside Earth reaches 7 people. So the Resilience Train Commander will take on the heavy responsibility: sleeping on the Resilience train due to the lack of room at the ISS station. “We’ll continue to assess the situation and secure positions somewhere,” just cancel Hopkins said at last week’s press conference.

After NASA retired from the space shuttle fleet in 2011, American astronauts had been in the air thanks to the Russian Soyuz for many years. Now, when the Crew Dragon is licensed to carry cargo and astronauts into the air, we will soon see “dragons” constantly present in orbit.

4 astronauts wait to get on the station.

“Over the next 15 months, we will be bringing up seven crews of astronauts and cargo missions for NASA. This means that, starting with the Crew-1, SpaceX’s Dragon will continuously be in the air, ”said Benji Reed, senior director of SpaceX’s space travel coordination division.

At the time of this article being published, the crew-1 crew is changing to prepare to officially step up to the International Space Station. Before their eyes are warm hugs, handshakes, and then scientific research missions.
