The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft reached the International Space Station Sept. 29 with two spacefarers who are part of a commercial mission known as Crew-9 .

The Dragon spacecraft is famous as the vehicle selected by NASA to bring home Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore after the agency determined that the Boeing Starliner was unsafe for its crew.

The relocation is necessary to free the forward-facing port for an uncrewed resupply mission.
