Two U.S. astronauts, a Russian cosmonaut, and an Emirati have arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) after launching from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on March 2. The arrival was slightly delayed by a faulty docking-hook sensor, with the spacecraft hovering about 20 meters shy of the ISS while a software error was fixed. The four traveling aboard a Crew Dragon from Elon Musk's private space company SpaceX are U.S. astronauts Stephen Bowen and Warren Hoburg, Russian Andrei Fedyayev, and Sultan al-Niyadi of the United Arab Emirates.
