Dragon moves to make way for Starliner

The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, with Expedition 71 crew members Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, Jeanette Epps and Alexander Grebenkin undocked from the forward-facing port of the International Space Station's Harmony module on Thursday (May 2) at 8:57 a.m. EDT (1257 GMT).

The capsule then autonomously redocked with Harmony's space-facing port 49 minutes later at 9:46 a.m. EDT (1346 GMT) while flying over the eastern Indian Ocean, northwest of Australia.

As the 28th spacecraft relocation in station history, the move makes room for the arrival of the uncrewed SpaceX Dragon carrying cargo to station as part of the company’s 31st commercial resupply services mission for NASA, targeted to launch in August.

Crew-8 splashes down on SpaceX Dragon Endeavour after weather delays

Four space station crewmates are safely back on Earth after an extended mission and a long wait for the weather to cooperate.

Crew-8 astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt and Jeanette Epps all with NASA and Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Pensacola, Florida on Friday (Oct. 25) at 3:29 a.m. EDT (0729 GMT). Their landing after 235 days — including a more than two-week wait on board the International Space Station (ISS) for acceptable conditions — set a record for their spacecraft.
