Introduction: The SPACEX test spacecraft will carry two astronauts, Behnken and Hurley, into the International Space Station to assist in experimenting and maintaining the spacecraft. The test flight carried 100,000 photos of the class of 2020 collected in advance into space to congratulate the happy graduation of 2020.
The photos show what's going on inside the SPACEX Dragon team's capsule, where scientific research on the space station requires two additional sets of manpower.
The first mission of the Space Shuttle Dragon team is underway, and NASA astronauts with astronauts Ben ken and Doug Hurley will travel to the International Space Station (ISS) more than 250 miles away in orbit at 3:22 p.m. on Saturday.
Climbing into a sac made of crunch, Benken and Doug Hurley Hurley will demonstrate the true strength of the partnership since the test flight. This could usher in a new era of space travel.
It couldn't have been better at this point, and the ISS needed some extra manpower to conduct key scientific experiments.

Two NASA astronauts will join the crew on the International Space Station, which is severely understaffed, with only three astronauts — two Russian astronauts Anatoly Ivanisin and Ivan Wagner, and one NASA astronaut, Christopher Cassidy.
With limited astronauts on the ISS, they have to spend more time maintaining the space station and less time doing scientific research in microgravity.
During the 20 years of orbital operation of the International Space Station, astronauts have independently completed more than 3,000 experiments in different scientific fields on the International Space Station.
Experiments range from growing lettuce to growing human organs or testing the effects of long space flights on human functioning. There are also bizarre experiments sent into space, such as slime and soccer balls, all in the name of science.
The ISS is equipped with six astronauts, four of whom are from NASA, twice as many as there are currently on spacecraft.
Cassidy was the last American cosmonaut to board the Russian Soyuz spacecraft, and NASA will send all astronauts from the United States without having to spend an additional $80 million per seat. As a result, NASA postponed plans to send more astronauts to the International Space Station until the test flight was approved.
After Benken and Hurley returned to Earth safely, NASA wanted to continue sending astronauts from the U.S. mainland, capable of carrying privately built rockets and spacecraft.
NASA also hopes to use commercial spaceflights on a more frequent basis to send scientific cargo to the International Space Station, as well as more scientific experiments, and return more samples to Earth after the experiments are over.

What's in the crunched bag? Unlike previous flights to the International Space Station, which were fully loaded for scientific experiments, this test flight looks a little lighter, but not completely empty.
Two NASA astronauts are carrying Earth memorabilia to honor the 2020 graduating class: NASA and SpaceX invited graduates from around the world to present their photographs in the form of works. The 100,000 photos were used to make a puzzle of the Earth and packaged for the International Space Station.
After departure, NASA astronauts don't arrive at the International Space Station until the next day. Fortunately, there is also a convenient universal garbage management system on the capsule, or rather, a toilet.
"That toilet? Ah, we'll let you know how it works," Hurley said at a news conference earlier this month. "They have one. We'll give it a try and we'll let you know when we get back. ”
Astronauts have long struggled to find a suitable way to dispose of in-flight excrement, and the previous solution was mostly to urinate in a bag and dispose of it later. Apollo astronauts reportedly left garbage bags on the moon.
Bernken and Hurley had originally planned to stay on the International Space Station for two weeks, but later extended it to a month to provide additional assistance to the crew. The SpaceX capsule is expected to orbit for 119 days, and the efficiency of solar panels will begin to decrease due to oxygen atoms in Earth's upper atmosphere.
