Dragon Moves to New Port, Makes Way for Starliner
The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, with Expedition 71 crew members NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, and Jeanette Epps, as well as Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin, autonomously redocked with the Harmony module’s space-facing port at 9:46 a.m. EDT over the eastern Indian Ocean, northwest of Australia.
As the 28th spacecraft relocation in station history, the move makes room for the arrival at 12:48 a.m., Wednesday, May 8, of the agency’s Boeing Crew Flight Test and the Starliner spacecraft carrying NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams.
