NEW YORK POST – 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.
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.
Sunita “Suni” Williams smiled as she snapped photos of her crewmates, one of whom wore an alien mask, during the docking.
Both crews embraced each other as the new team made their way through the hatch.
“Houston, thank you for tuning in this early morning,” Williams said. “It was a wonderful day. Great to see our friends arrive. Thank you so much.”
