Station Robotic Arm Grapples Cygnus Resupply Ship

The Cygnus resupply ship slowly approaches the space station before the Canadarm2 reaches out and grapples it.

Expedition 49 Flight Engineers Takuya Onishi of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and Kate Rubins of NASA successfully captured Orbital ATK’s Cygnus spacecraft with the station’s robotic arm at 7:28 a.m. EDT. NASA TV coverage of operations to install Cygnus to the space station’s Unity module begins at 9 a.m.
