Dragon Moves to New Port, Makes Way for Starliner

NASA

The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, with Expedition 71 crew members NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, and Jeanette Epps, as well as Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin, autonomously redocked with the Harmony module's space-facing port at 9:46 a.m. EDT over the eastern Indian Ocean, northwest of Australia.

As the 28th spacecraft relocation in station history, the move makes room for the arrival of the uncrewed SpaceX Dragon carrying cargo to station as part of the company's 31st commercial resupply services mission for NASA, targeted to launch in August.
