First Private Astronaut Mission Docks at ISS

The SpaceX Dragon Capsule containing the first all-private crew, Axiom Mission 1 astronauts Michael Lopez-Alegria, Larry Connor, Eytan Stibbe, and Mark Pathy, arrived at the International Space Station at 8:29 a.m. EDT Saturday, April 9. The spacecraft and station were flying 260 miles above the Atlantic Ocean during the docking procedure, which was delayed by 45 minutes due to troubleshooting the capsule's centerline camera. The Axiom crew will join the Expedition 67 crew members already onboard the ISS, and spend more than a week in the orbiting laboratory.
