A new crew arrived on the International Space Station this weekend on a Crew Dragon spacecraft. A Falcon 9 lifted off Saturday at 3:27 am EDT (0727 GMT) Aug. 26 and placed the Crew Dragon spacecraft Endurance into orbit. That spacecraft docked with the station Sunday morning, nearly 30 hours after liftoff. The Crew-7 mission delivered to the station astronauts from NASA, ESA and JAXA and a Roscosmos cosmonaut for a six-month stay. Another Crew Dragon spacecraft is set to depart the station over the weekend to return the four members of Crew-6 to Earth.
