Dragon Successfully Captured and Berthed at Space Station
Dragon captured by the ISS’s CanadArm2. Via NASA TV.
Running ahead of time, the International Space Station Expedition 33 crew successfully captured and installed the SpaceX Dragon capsule onto the Earth-facing port of the Harmony module. ISS commander Suni Williams and astronaut Akihiko Hoshide captured the commercial spacecraft with the station’s CanadArm2 robotic arm at 6:56 a.m. EDT, and Dragon was officially berthed at 9:03 am EDT. The hatch will be opened tomorrow and Dragon will be unloaded over the next several days. They will also be packing if full of items that will be coming back to Earth, as this spacecraft has the ability to return intact, instead of burning up in the atmosphere like the other resupply ships that come to the station. Dragon will spend 18 days attached to the ISS.
