A four-person multinational team has reached the International Space Station for a scheduled six-month expedition aboard the orbiting laboratory. The spacecraft, identified as SpaceX Crew 13, launched on Thursday morning and began its docking procedures later that evening.
CBS News space consultant Bill Harwood provided details regarding the docking process as the crew completed their journey to the orbital lab.

Hope they had a good meal before launch. Space food is still… an experience, apparently.
I wonder what experiments they’re bringing up this time around. Always exciting to see what science happens up there.
SpaceX is making space travel look almost routine now. Six-month missions are becoming the new normal.
How long did the launch-to-dock sequence take this time? Seems faster than previous Crew Dragon missions.
Finally, another six months of human presence in orbit. The ISS continues to be a beacon of international cooperation.
