A SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft docked with the International Space Station, bringing a NASA astronaut and a Russian cosmonaut for a five-month mission. This occurred despite a Falcon 9 upper stage misfire, causing an off-target re-entry over the Pacific Ocean. SpaceX has suspended Falcon 9 launches to investigate the issue. The Crew Dragon’s 28-hour rendezvous was unaffected, and the new crew joined existing members aboard the ISS. The current crew will replace Crew 8, who are set to return to Earth around October 7 after a 217-day mission.
