SpaceX Crew Dragon astronauts undock from space station, move to different port

Four space station astronauts strapped into their SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule, undocked and took it for a brief spin around the front of the International Space Station Monday, re-docking at a different port to clear the way for arrival of a replacement crew later this month.

The move kicks off a record month for the space station program with two launches and two landings by four U.S. and Russian spacecraft, ferrying seven fresh crew members to the station and bringing seven others back to Earth. With commander Mike Hopkins, Victor Glover, Shannon Walker and Japanese astronaut Soichi Noguchi suited up and strapped in, the SpaceX Crew-1 Dragon "Resilience" undocked from a port on the front end of the station's forward Harmony module at 6:30 a.m. EDT.
