Ammon News - SpaceX’s Crew-10 mission successfully docked at the International Space Station on Sunday morning, setting the stage to finally retrieve the two NASA astronauts who have been stuck in orbit for months.
The Space-X space capsule docked at the ISS at 12:05 a.m. EST Sunday morning after lifting off Friday from Florida.
Video feed showing Crew-10’s dramatic docking onto the ISS was shared live on X.
One camera showed the docking from the perspective of the ISS, with Crew-10 approaching as a cloudy atmosphere over Australia rotates in the background.
Space-X and NASA engineers celebrated in their Earth-bound offices as the Crew-10 capsule successfully latched onto the ISS docking port.
The arriving crew entered the ISS just before 2:00 a.m. EST.
American Astronaut Butch Willmore greeted the arriving crew members when the hatch finally opened onto the space station.
Williams and Wilmore have been stuck on the ISS since June due to their Boeing Starliner encountering a litany of issues preventing their return which was originally planned for eight days after their arrival. NYP
