[b]Endeavour docks to space station[/b] "Endeavour" docked to the International Space Station on Saturday (April 24), marking the first return of SpaceX Crew Dragon to the orbital complex. Endeavour, carrying Crew-2 astronauts Shane Kimbrough, Megan McArthur, Thomas Pesquet and Aki Hoshide, docked to the forward-facing port of the space station's Harmony node at 5:08 a.m. EDT (0908 GMT). The autonomous docking marked the end of a 23-hour rendezvous. Beginning its approach to the space station from below, the Endeavour guided itself to waypoints at 720 feet (220 meters) and 66 feet (20 m) directly in front of the station before proceeding in to dock. The astronauts opened the hatches and entered the space station at 7:44 a.m. EDT (1144 GMT), joining Expedition 65 commander Shannon Walker and flight engineers Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover, Soichi Noguchi, Mark Vande Hei, Oleg Novitskiy and Pyotr Dubrov.
