During the Italian night, the hatch of the Harmony module of the international space station (ISS) opened, to which the Crew Dragon 'Endurance' shuttle was docked.

And so the crew of the Crew 5 mission, with the Americans Nicole Mann and Josh cassada, the Russian Anna Kikina and the Japanese Koichi Wakata, entered the ISS, welcomed by the four members of Crew 4, including Samantha Cristoforetti.

Now on board the space station in addition to Cristoforetti - who is in command of the ISS - there are 10 astronauts, six Americans, three Russians and one Japanese.
