The SpaceX Drag­on car­go vehi­cle arrived at the Inter­na­tion­al Space Sta­tion after it was launched atop the company’s Fal­con 9 rock­et from the Cape Canaver­al Air Force Sta­tion, Flori­da. Loaded with more than two tons of vital sci­ence exper­i­ments and sup­plies for the Expe­di­tion 43 crew, Drag­on was grap­pled by Flight Engi­neer Saman­tha Cristo­fore­t­ti of the Euro­pean Space Agency and sta­tion Com­man­der Ter­ry Virts of NASA using the station’s Canadarm2 robot­ic arm. Drag­on was installed on the Earth-fac­ing port of the Har­mo­ny mod­ule for a month-long stay on the company’s lat­est com­mer­cial resup­ply mis­sion for the orbital outpost.
