The Ax-2 astronauts did a quick check-in from the SpaceX Dragon Freedom spacecraft during their journey to the International Space Station (ISS), a few hours after launching from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The crew shared a few of their first experiences of being in space.
The Dragon spacecraft is now anticipated to dock to the space-facing port of the ISS Harmony module around 9:16 a.m. on Monday, May 22.
The Ax-2 webcast will resume on Monday, May 22, at 7:30 a.m. ET. Watch the crew arrive at the ISS live at axiomspace.com, NASA Television, the NASA app, and the agency’s website.
