Russian Cargo Ship Successfully Docks at International Space Station During Resupply Mission
TL;DR
A Russian cargo ship has delivered 2.7 tons of supplies and equipment to the International Space Station, while four "private astronauts" carry out their own science agenda. The Ax-2 flight, chartered by Axiom Space, increased the space station's crew from 7 to 11. After the Ax-2 crew departs next Tuesday, SpaceX plans to follow up with a cargo launch of its own on June 3, sending up an unpiloted Dragon capsule.
