Astronauts Successfully Relocate SpaceX Dragon Ship on International Space Station

TL;DR Summary
Four crewmembers at the International Space Station (ISS) moved SpaceX's Crew Dragon Endeavour to a different port to make way for a cargo ship arriving in June. The incoming cargo ship will be bringing with it a couple of rollout solar arrays, which will be extracted from the ship using the robotic Canadarm2 device, and the position of the freed port offers the best angle of approach for the arm. The arrays will be installed during spacewalks in the summer as part of ongoing work to upgrade the space station's power supply.
