Astronaut Hague & Cosmonaut Gorbunov Dock at International Space Station

Astronaut Hague & Cosmonaut Gorbunov Dock at International Space Station

On Sunday, Sept. 29, 2024, NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov of Russia entered the International Space Station after opening the hatch between the space station and the pressurized mating adapter at 7:04 p.m. EDT before opening the hatch to Dragon.

Hague and Gorbunov were then welcomed by the space station’s Expedition 72 crew, including NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, Jeanette Epps, Don Petitt, Butch Wilmore, and Suni Williams, as well as Roscosmos cosmonauts Alexander Grebenkin, Alexey Ovchinin, and Ivan Vagner 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.
