Video: Change of command aboard International Space Station

The Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon capsule climb the ramp to pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center ahead of next week’s crew launch in this time-lapse video.

A Soyuz rocket and Progress supply ship packed with nearly 3 tons of cargo, provisions and fuel for the International Space Station rolled out to a launch pad at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Monday.

Two astronauts ventured outside the International Space Station early Thursday and performed what amounted to hand transplant surgery on the lab’s Canadian-built robot arm, removing a crippled grapple fixture on one end of the space crane and replacing it with an on-board spare.
