Welcome aboard, #Crew9!

NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov arrived to the space station aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft earlier today, docking to the forward-facing port of the Harmony module at 5:30 p.m. EDT. 

A short time after, the duo was greeted by the Expedition 72 crew, temporarily expanding the orbiting lab’s population to 11 until Crew-8 departs and splashes down in early October.

Crew-9 will now begin their approximate five-month microgravity research mission.
