This is the first time in the history of the International Space Station
That two Dragon Capsules are on the International Space Station at the same time
The Falcon 9 rocket flew from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Sunday carrying the Dragon Cargo Capsule.
This is the best cargo ever sent to the International Space Station by the SpaceX company and is intended to carry food and scientific equipment and other items to the International Space Station.
This cargo can carry 50% more cargo than the previous cargo and can stay connected to the International Space Station longer.
After about 24 hours, the capsule was successfully docked with the International Space Station, and docking for SpaceX was automated for the first time before astronauts controlled the robotic arm.
At the time of docking, the International Space Station and Dragon Cargo were located in the southern part of the Indian Ocean.
For the first time in the history of the International Space Station, two dragon capsules exist at the same time
One is the Crew Dragon Mission 1 that took the astronauts and the other is the Cargo CRS-21 cargo capsule that carried the equipment they needed.
In the pictures below you can see the cargo capsule coming towards the International Space Station and attached to it. And in the third picture you can see that there is stuff inside the cargo capsule.
