SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft successfully executed a series of maneuvers during its flight to the International Space Station (ISS). The mission began with the Falcon 9 rocket lifting Dragon into orbit, where the two stages of the rocket separated. Following this, Dragon activated its systems and performed a series of phasing burns to adjust its orbit and approach the ISS. The spacecraft established a communication link with the ISS and conducted final orbit adjustments before initiating an autonomous docking procedure. After successfully docking, the vestibule was pressurized, and the hatch was opened to allow crew ingress. This sequence of operations highlights the advanced capabilities of the Dragon spacecraft in facilitating human spaceflight and resupply missions to the ISS.
