The space transport “Crew Dragon” of the private company SpaceX has reached the International Space Station.
As announced by the US space agency NASA, the spacecraft is docked at the ISS after more than 27 hours of flight with four astronauts on board. The transporter first took off on a regular mission into space Sunday evening from the spaceport of Cape Canaveral in the US state of Florida.
Meanwhile, a European launcher failed in an attempt to launch two satellites into space. A few minutes after take-off from the Kourou Space Center in French Guiana, a deviation from the flight path was detected. The Vega rocket was supposed to launch the first Spanish Earth observation satellite for the European Space Agency and Spain into space.
