Dragon CRS-10 spacecraft docked to space station.
On February 23, 2017 at 13:12 UTC the private U.S. unmanned supply spacecraft, the "Dragon” SpX-10 (CRS-10 flight), was successfully docked to the International Space Station. The linkup operation was carried out with the help of the giant 17-meter Canadarm. The capture with Canadarm-2 was performed by French astronaut Thomas Pesquet at 10:44 UTC. The Dragon spacecraft was maneuvered into position and attached to a berthing port on the space station's Harmony module. This docking marked the 10th time a Dragon spaceship has reached the space station, counting a demonstration flight in 2012.
