NASA’s SpaceX Crew-2 astronauts docked autonomously to the forward port of the International Space Station’s Harmony module about 5:10 a.m. Saturday, April 24. NASA astronauts Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur, along with Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Akihiko Hoshide and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Thomas Pesquet, arrived after a one-day journey to begin a six-month science mission on the space station.
