On May 6, 2019 at 13:33 UTC, the private U.S. unmanned supply spacecraft, the "Dragon” SpX-17 (CRS-17 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 Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques at 11:04 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 17th time a Dragon spaceship has reached the space station, counting a demonstration flight in 2012. Attachments: |
