The SpaceX Dragon Endurance spacecraft and its four-person crew docked with the International Space Station (ISS) on March 16. Crew-10 consists of “NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Takuya Onishi and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov,” NASA said. The number of crew aboard the space station will increase to 11 for a short time as Crew-10 joins NASA astronauts Nick Hague, Suni Williams, Butch Wilmore and Don Pettit, as well as Roscosmos cosmonauts Aleksandr Gorbunov, Alexey Ovchinin and Ivan Vagner. Following a brief handover period, Hague, Williams, Wilmore and Gorbunov will return to Earth no earlier than March 19. Williams and Wilmore were initially meant to spend just a few days on the space station, but their stint ended up lasting nine months after a spacecraft malfunction. (Credit: NASA via Storyful)
