SpaceX Dragon Capsule Successfully Docks with International Space Station

On February 15, Jin10 reported that at approximately 4:15 AM Beijing time (UTC+8), SpaceX's Dragon capsule, carrying four astronauts, successfully docked with the International Space Station (ISS). According to Jin10, this docking restored the ISS crew to its standard operational capacity of seven astronauts. The previous crew had returned to Earth in mid-January due to health issues, leaving the station with only three astronauts. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) stated that the current mission will last approximately eight months. During this period, the astronauts will conduct various scientific experiments aimed at preparing for future lunar and Martian exploration. These experiments include studying the interactions between plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria to enhance food production capabilities in space environments.
