NASA's Space to Ground: Dragon Shuffle | Week of May 12, 2023

NASA's Space to Ground is your weekly update on what's happening aboard the International Space Station. The SpaceX Dragon, with Expedition 69 crew members Steve Bowen and Woody Hoburg of NASA, United Arab Emirates astronaut Sultan Alneyadi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev of Russia aboard, successfully docked to the forward port of the Harmony module of the International Space Station at 8:01 a.m. EDT on May 6, 2023.

This was the 27th spacecraft relocation in space station history. The move made room for the arrival of the uncrewed SpaceX Dragon carrying cargo to station as part of the company’s 28th commercial resupply services mission for NASA, targeted to launch in June.

NASA’s SpaceX Crew-6 members are scheduled to return to Earth in August.
