[b]Endeavour relocates to open port on station[/b] SpaceX's Crew-2 astronauts relocated their Crew Dragon Endeavour spacecraft on Wednesday, (July 21), setting the stage for a historic first when two different U.S. commercial crew spacecraft will be docked to the International Space Station at the same time. Endeavour autonomously undocked from the forward port of the space station's Harmony module at 6:45 a.m. EDT and relocated to the space-facing port at 7:35 a.m. EDT (1045 to 1135 GMT). NASA astronauts Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur, JAXA astronaut Akihiko Hoshide and ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet were aboard the Crew Dragon for the relocation. The move freed up Harmony's forward port for the docking of Boeing's CST-100 Starliner, scheduled for launch Friday, July 30, as part of the spacecraft's Orbital Flight Test-2 (OFT-2).
