SpaceX Commercial Cargo Craft Arrives at International Space Station – Video



10-10-2012 09:29 Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 33 Flight Engineer Aki Hoshide of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and station Commander Sunita Williams of NASA used the Canadarm2 robotic arm to grapple the SpaceX Dragon commercial cargo craft October 10 2012, signaling the arrival of the vehicle at the orbital laboratory for the first US commercial resupply service for the complex. Within hours after grappling Dragon following its 2-day transit following launch from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., Williams and Hoshide installed the SpaceX craft to the Earth-facing port of the Harmony module. Dragon is scheduled to remain berthed to the station until its departure October 28 for its deorbit and parachute-assisted splashdown in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of southern California.
