International Space Station Configuration. Five spaceships are parked at the space station including the SpaceX Dragon Endurance, Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus space freighter, the Soyuz MS-23 crew ship, and the Progress 84 and 85 resupply ships.
The hatch of SpaceX’s Crew-6 “Endeavour” Crew Dragon spacecraft, with NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Warren (Woody) Hoburg, Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev of Russia, and United Arab Emirates astronaut Sultan Alneyadi, was closed on Sept. 3, 2023, prior to undocking. Crew-6 was SpaceX’s sixth operational mission for NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft undocked from the forward-facing port of the International Space Station’s Harmony module to complete a six-month science mission.
The SpaceX Crew-7 Dragon Endurance arrived at the International Space Station on August 27, 2023, with NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli, European Space Agency astronaut Andreas Mogensen of Denmark, JAXA astronaut Satoshi Furukawa of Japan, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Konstantin Borisov 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.
