Dragon spacecraft berthed at ISS
Saudi Press Agency Published in Saudi Press Agency on 25 - 05 - 2012


The Dragon spacecraft was docked to the
International Space Station Friday, becoming the first private craft
ever to reach the orbiting laboratory, according to dpa.
Dragon had slowly approached the station over the course of
several hours, coming to within metres of the ISS, before astronauts
inside the station used a robotic arm to grab the craft.
Astronauts then took about two hours to manoeuvre the capsule into
place to its temporary home on the station's Harmony module, where it
was attached at 1602 GMT and bolted into place.
