Today at 9:56AM EDT (13:56 GMT) the robotic arm on the International Space Station successfully captured SpaceX’s Dragon capsule. It’s the first time a commercial craft has connected with the ISS, and the first time a spacecraft made in the U.S. has gone to the station since the retirement of the shuttle. The approach was delayed temporarily as engineers worked out bad sensor readings due to light reflected off the ISS’s Kibo laboratory. “To work around the problem, SpaceX narrowed the field of view for the laser sensor so that it wouldn’t pick up light from the offending reflector. Dragon then returned to the 30-meter checkpoint and moved in for the final approach.” If all goes well today, the capsule will most likely be opened tomorrow. Video of the operation is being broadcast live on NASA TV. Read more of this story at Slashdot.
