Our Dragon is comfortably docked with the International @Space_Station. 🐉💤 Did you know dragons hibernate? We leave it there for six months before waking it up to take us back home... #MissionAlpha flic.kr/p/2kXBeFk

I mentioned wanting a #timelapse of our @spaceX Dragon docking to the @Space_Station and the internet delivers, always! Thanks @Darkellysio 👏🙏
Views from our Crew Dragon Endeavour’s window. You may have heard I am currently sleeping in Endeavour until the new sleep station is ready to go onboard the @Space_Station. Talk about a room with a view!
Jul 15, 2021MEDIA ADVISORY M21-082NASA TV to Air Crew Dragon Port Relocation on Space StationNASA’s SpaceX Crew-2 astronauts on the International Space Station will relocate their Crew Dragon Endeavour spacecraft Wednesday, July 21, setting the stage for a historic first when two different U.S. commercial spacecraft built for crew will be docked to the microgravity laboratory at the same time.Live coverage will begin at 6:30 a.m. EDT on NASA Television, the NASA app, and the agency’s website.NASA astronauts Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Akihiko Hoshide, and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Thomas Pesquet will board the Crew Dragon spacecraft about 4:30 a.m. and undock from the forward port of the station’s Harmony module at 6:45 a.m. The spacecraft will dock again at the station’s space-facing port at 7:32 a.m.The relocation will free up Harmony’s forward port for the docking of Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner spacecraft, scheduled for launch Friday, July 30, as part of NASA’s Boeing Orbital Flight Test-2 (OFT-2) mission. The flight will test the end-to-end capabilities of Starliner from launch to docking, atmospheric re-entry, and a desert landing in the western United States. The uncrewed mission will provide valuable data about Boeing’s crew transportation system, and help NASA certify Starliner and the United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket for regular flights with astronauts to and from the space station.This will be the second port relocation of a Crew Dragon spacecraft. NASA’s SpaceX Crew-2 mission lifted off April 23 from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida and docked to the space station April 24. Crew-2, targeted to return in early-to-mid November, is the second of six certified crew missions NASA and SpaceX have planned as a part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program.Get breaking news, images and features from the space station on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.-end-

The closest the US has ever gotten to two simultaneous crew vehicles in operation was between Gemini XII and Apollo 1 (a little over 3 months gap).
