Crew Dragon went on to successfully dock with the International Space Station (ISS) on Sunday, May 31, which the astronauts are now safely aboard. The remarkable launch marks the first time that NASA astronauts have blasted off from American soil since the Space Shuttle Program ended in 2011.

Together, the two will now spend a yet-to-be-determined amount of time onboard the International Space Station.
