The SpaceX Crew-10 mission is currently underway, traveling from Earth to rendezvous with the stranded Starliner spacecraft at the International Space Station (ISS). As of this afternoon (March 16), the Dragon spacecraft from SpaceX has successfully docked with the International Space Station, carrying four astronauts: Anne McClain, Nichole Ayers (NASA), Takuya Onishi (JAXA of Japan), and Kirill Peskov (Roscosmos of Russia). They have joined the crew of seven astronauts already on the station, bringing the total to 11 individuals in space.
Following this, the Dragon spacecraft will return three NASA astronauts – Nick Hague, Butch Wilmore, and Suni Williams (two of whom were aboard the stranded Starliner spacecraft) – along with one Russian astronaut, Aleksandr Gorbunov, back to Earth starting from Wednesday, March 19 onwards (exact date and time dependent on weather conditions in the landing area in Florida where the spacecraft will return).
TLDR: SpaceX Crew-10 mission successfully arrives at the International Space Station, exchanging astronauts and preparing for the return journey to Earth.
