SpaceX's Cargo Dragon spacecraft has delivered supplies to the International Space Station 31 times, but the most recent mission had a unique twist.
The Dragon spacecraft used its thrusters to maneuver the space station, a first for this vehicle.
This test will help NASA develop a spacecraft to safely deorbit the space station, which is expected to be retired in 2030.
The maneuver capability is especially relevant considering potential tensions between the United States and Russia, which could impact their cooperation on the space station.
