WASHINGTON: SpaceX’s unmanned Dragon cargo ship arrived Friday at the International Space Station, carrying nearly 2000 kilograms of food and supplies for the astronauts living in orbit.
European Space Agency astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti grappled the capsule with the space station’s robotic arm at 6.55 am (1055 GMT) as the space station flew over the northern Pacific to the east of Japan, NASA said.
“Houston, capture is complete,” said NASA astronaut Terry Virts, after high-fiving Cristoforetti in the space station’s cupola.
“Samantha did a perfect job grappling Dragon.”
The Canadian-made robotic arm pulled the cargo ship closer for berthing at 9:29 am (1329 GMT), NASA said.
