Axiom Space’s second, four-person private astronaut mission to the International Space Station docked to the space-facing port on the Harmony module on Monday.
The SpaceX Crew Dragon switched ISS docking ports May 6 to make room for Axiom Space’s second private astronaut mission and a later a SpaceX cargo mission.
The relocation freed the Poisk module’s airlock for a series of upcoming spacewalks, while vacating the docking port for a Russian Progress resupply spacecraft.
The chief objective of NASA’s Artemis II mission is to do something that NASA’s Artemis I mission conducted late last year was not equipped to address.
