The docking was captured on live video as the Dragon capsule approached and connected with the ISS, marking another successful crew rotation mission for SpaceX. The crew will join existing station occupants for a period of scientific research and station maintenance.

The mission continues SpaceX's dominant role as the primary crew transport provider for the ISS, a position it has held since the retirement of NASA's Space Shuttle program. Falcon 9 remains the workhorse of American space access, with an increasingly routine cadence of crew and cargo missions.
