SpaceX Dragon astronauts welcomed to International Space Station

This is the moment the two US test pilots onboard the SpaceX Dragon capsule entered the International Space Station.

The capsule carrying Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken pulled up to the station hours earlier and docked automatically without assistance.

It was the first time a privately built and owned spacecraft carried astronauts to the orbiting lab in its nearly 20 years.

The docking occurred barely 19 hours after the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket blasted off from Kennedy Space Center.
