The SpaceX Crew Dragon Resilience spacecraft, transporting four astronauts, successfully rendezvoused with the International Space Station traveling 250 miles above the Earth, according to the Washington Post.
Twenty-seven hours after launching from the Kennedy Space Flight Center in Florida, the spacecraft used its automatic docking system to maneuver and connect with the ISS at 11:02 p.m. ET. The hatch between the two craft will open about 90 minutes after docking to ensure all safety protocols are completed, allowing the three ISS crew members to meet the spacecraft crew.
Resilience will stay at the ISS for six months, returning in April 2021, when it will return with its four crew members. The seven personnel on the station raises a bit of a problem for sleeping arrangements, because the ISS only has six sleeping berths. To accommodate the crowding, Resilience Commander Mike Hopkins will sleep in the spacecraft.
