Expedition 62 crewmembers inside the SpaceX Dragon resupply ship
iss062e087445 (March 9, 2020) --- From top to bottom, Expedition 62 crewmembers Andrew Morgan, Oleg Skripochka and Jessica Meir are pictured inside the SpaceX Dragon resupply ship shortly after opening the hatch to the U.S. space freighter. The trio wore portable breathing gear during the initial entry and tested the spaceship's atmosphere for particles and airway irritants that may have dislodged during its launch and ascent to space.

Dragon CRS-20 brought up the Airbus Bartomoleo experiment platform in its trunk. I believe Bartomoleo is scheduled to be extracted from the trunk sometime today, although I haven't seen any updates. It will be installed ont he Columbus module.
