"For awareness, we have identified a late breaking possible conjunction with a fairly close miss distance to Dragon," SpaceX's Sarah Gilles told the astronauts. The crew managed to land safely on the International Space Station (ISS) the next day. The Crew Dragon spacecraft, which was designed by billionaire technology entrepreneur Elon Musk's company, came in to dock at around 10.19am UK time - two minutes before its scheduled arrival. The crew are expected to stay on the space station for a tour of six months.
