The Ax-2 astronauts did a quick check-in from the SpaceX Dragon Freedom spacecraft during their journey to the International Space Station (ISS), a few hours after launching from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The crew shared a few of their first experiences of being in space.

The Dragon spacecraft is now anticipated to dock to the space-facing port of the ISS Harmony module around 9:16 a.m. on Monday, May 22.

The Ax-2 webcast will resume on Monday, May 22, at 7:30 a.m. ET. Watch the crew arrive at the ISS live at axiomspace.com, NASA Television, the NASA app, and the agency’s website. The Ax-2 webcast will cover events as the crew docks to the ISS and is greeted by NASA’s Expedition 69 crew of Steve Bowen and Woody Hoburg of NASA, UAE (United Arab Emirates) astronaut Sultan Alneyadi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev for the welcome ceremony. This will begin their mission on the orbiting laboratory conducting science, education, and commercial activities.
