SpaceX Crew-10 mission successfully docked at the International Space Station, setting the stage to rescue two stranded NASA astronauts who have been stuck in space for months.

Crew-10's Crew Dragon capsule, named Endurance, caught up with the station early Sunday morning (March 16), docking with its Harmony module at 12:04 a.m. EDT (0404 GMT), while the two spacecraft were flying 260 miles (418 kilometers) above the Atlantic Ocean.

Wilmore and Williams will return on the SpaceX Dragon Freedom, the same spacecraft that transported the Crew-9 astronauts to the ISS. The astronauts' return is not a rescue mission, as their extended stay was planned last summer to accommodate crew rotation and space station operations.
