NASA's SpaceX Crew-6 Arrival: Hatch Opening | International Space Station

The hatch of SpaceX’s Crew-6 “Endeavour” Crew Dragon spacecraft, with NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Warren Hoburg, Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev (Russia) and United Arab Emirates astronaut Sultan Alneyadi, was opened on March 3, 2023, at 08:45 UTC (03:45am EST). Crew-6 is SpaceX’s sixth operational mission for NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. 

Crew-6 joins the Expedition 68 crew of NASA astronauts Frank Rubio, Nicole Mann, and Josh Cassada, as well as Koichi Wakata of JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency), and Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev, Dmitri Petelin, and Anna Kikina of Russia.

An international partnership of space agencies provides and operates the elements of the International Space Station (ISS). The principals are the space agencies of the United States, Russia, Europe, Japan, and Canada. The ISS has been the most politically complex space exploration program ever undertaken.
