Just a day after launching to orbit, SpaceX's new Crew Dragon capsule has arrived at the International Space Station.
It docked to a port on the ISS on Sunday - a test that would prove crucial in getting approval from NASA to carry astronauts.
The Dragon was only carrying a dummy pilot, but SpaceX aims to start flying American astronauts later this year and put an end to the years-long reliance on Russia to ferry crew to and from the ISS.
Another four days of testing remain before getting the green light from NASA.
If all goes well, SpaceX could launch two astronauts this summer under Nasa's commercial crew program.
