AdvertisementSpaceX have created a Crew Dragon simulator that lets you play at being an astronaut and practise manually docking with the International Space Station. The real Crew Dragon will journey to the ISS in NASA's upcoming SpaceX Demo-2 mission, which will lift off from Florida's Kennedy Space Center on May 27, 2020. Once the craft has successfully docked with the Harmony module on board the space station, the duo will join the Expedition 63 mission for several months. In the simulator, wannabe astronauts take control of the Crew Dragon's attitude thrusters to try to gently guide the capsule in towards the ISS docking port. SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule is designed to dock and undock from the ISS autonomously, the crew can also take manual control if needed.
