Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken, two US astronauts, have docked with the International Space Station (ISS).
On the bow part of the high-flying lab, their privately owned and operated Dragon capsule pushed them into port.
Before they disembark and join the Russian and American crew already on the ISS, the astronauts must wait for the completion of leak and pressure inspections.
On Saturday, Hurley and Behnken took off from Florida.
The US space agency launched astronauts from its home territory for the first time since the shuttles were phased out nine years ago.
A new era in which NASA will be acquiring transportation services from the private sector has begun with this mission.
