WASHINGTON: An all-European crew including Turkey´s first astronaut arrived at the International Space Station on Saturday on a voyage chartered by Axiom Space. Dubbed Axiom Mission 3, it is the company´s third launch to the space laboratory and the first where all three of the paid seats were bought by national agencies, rather than wealthy individuals.
The spacecraft docked at the ISS at 1043 GMT and boarded within about two hours, according to NASA´s livestream of the event. The SpaceX Crew Dragon fixed to the top of a Falcon 9 rocket blasted off from NASA´s Kennedy Space Center in the US state of Florida on Thursday.
