The SpaceX Dragon cargo craft, which launched April 8, approaches to be grappled by the International Space Station (ISS) crew on April 10, when the spacecraft was captured and bolted to the orbiting complex. This view is from the Cupola where the primary controls of the Canadarm 2 are located. Crew members use the robotic arm to grapple the spaceship before berthing it to the Earth-facing port on the Harmony module. The spacecraft delivered about 7,000 pounds of science and research investigations, including the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module, known as BEAM, the first human-rated expandable structure that may help inform the design of deep space habitats. BEAM is set to be installed to the station Saturday, April 16. Image Credit: NASA #nasa #space #astronauts #dragon #spacex #isscargo #science
