SPACE X



SpaceX rocket arrives at the International Space Station; see the moment of coupling 

The SpaceX rocket arrived at the International Space Station this Sunday, 31, at 11: 16 (Brasilia Time). After launching this Saturday from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley made a 19-hour journey aboard The Crew Dragon capsule until it reached its destination.
The capsule docked about 15 minutes ahead of schedule, with no problems occurring. However, the mission will only be considered a success when the astronauts return safely to Earth. The expectation is that they will stay in the season for at least a month, and a maximum of four months.

The trip was historic: for the first time since 2011 Nasa conducts a manned space mission leaving the United States. It is also the first time a private company has launched astronauts into orbit - until then, only government spacecraft reached such heights.
On Sunday morning, astronauts Behnken and Hurley said in a live broadcast that the trip was quiet and that they slept good hours of sleep.
