A SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule carrying two NASA astronauts docks with the International Space Station. "It's been a real honor to be just a small part of this nine-year endeavor since the last time a United States spaceship has docked with the International Space Station," says Doug Hurley, one of the astronauts, after the docking was completed.

Images of the moment NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley are told that SpaceX's landmark launch to the International Space Station is postponed due to poor weather. The decision was made with around 20 minutes to go until takeoff. IMAGES
A Soyuz-MS 02 spacecraft launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, Wednesday, bound for the International Space Station. The spacecraft is carrying Russian cosmonaut Sergey Ryzhikov, Kazakh cosmonaut Andrei Borisenko, and US astronaut Shane Kimbrough, who will spend four months aboard the ISS to conduct experiments in biology, biotechnology, physical science and Earth science before returning home in February.
Dramatic time-lapse footage filmed from the International Space Station on Monday and brought courtesy of NASA TV captured the swirling arms and ominous eye of Hurricane Matthew, the Atlantic Ocean's most powerful tropical storm in almost a decade as it spun towards Haiti and Jamaica. The storm covered a significant part of the camera frame - clouds stretched as far as the eye could see. The Category 4 Hurricane made landfall on Haiti's Tiburon Peninsula early on Tuesday with wind speeds of up to 145 miles per hour. Haiti is one of the poorest nations in the Western Hemisphere and endured a devastating earthquake just 7 years ago.
