SpaceX Crew Dragon docks with ISS to reach stranded astronauts

Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams have been stuck aboard the ISS since June after the Boeing Starliner spacecraft they were testing on its maiden crewed voyage suffered propulsion issues and was deemed unfit to fly them back to Earth. (AFP)

The NASA duo's Starliner had returned to Earth empty, without experiencing further major issues - leaving them stuck for nine months after what was meant to have been a days-long roundtrip. (AFP)

The astronauts were shown on live TV embracing and hugging their counterparts in zero gravity on the space station shortly after their SpaceX Crew Dragon arrived at 0545 GMT (AFP)
