JAKARTA SpaceX's Dragon plane carrying four crew of Axiom 4 (Ax-4) has arrived at the International Space Station (ISS). The plane reportedly landed by NASA on Thursday, June 26.
Dragon managed to land smoothly in the Harmony module. Now, the four crew consisting of Commander Whitson, Pilot Shubhanshu Shukla, and Mission Specialist Sryptawosz Uznawaski-Wimeniewski and Tibor Kapu are already inside the station.
Before anchoring, Dragon's automatic approach was monitored by two members of Expedition 73, NASA Aviation Technicians Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers. This process is monitored so that meeting maneuvers run smoothly and under control.
After successfully anchoring, the Ax-4 astronauts were greeted by seven crew members of Expedition 73 who were at the station. Furthermore, the four crew made a call to Earth to say hello and follow safety directions.
