Astronauts arrive at International Space Station on the quickest US express flight yet
What happened
SpaceX's Crew-13 mission docked with the International Space Station on Thursday, 7 hours and 55 minutes after launching from Cape Canaveral, the fastest launch-to-docking by a US spacecraft to the station according to NASA. Aboard the Dragon capsule Grace: NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Joshua Kutryk, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Teteryatnikov. The launch had been delayed from mid-September by a leak aboard the Dragon. The crew begins a roughly six-month stay, replacing Crew-12.
