The capsule of SpaceX with two american astronauts on board has docked successfully with the ISS on Sunday morning.
The capsule of SpaceX Crew Dragon has docked Sunday without a hitch to the international space Station, just a few minutes before schedule, with two Nasa astronauts on board, a crucial step for this historic mission.
Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley, who took off on a rocket of SpaceX the day before from Florida, are the first astronauts to reach the ISS, 400 km from the Earth, through a vehicle of a private company.
