00:01Here on your screen, you can see on the left, that is the space station's robotic arm that NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick is going to be controlling.
00:09He's going to push that into Cygnus and grapple onto it.
00:18NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps is assisting him, serving as his second set of eyes.
00:24You'll also hear her call down to the crew in mission control.
00:27The astronauts do have the go from ground teams here on Earth to proceed with capture.
00:57As we move forward, as you go, you find the crew with the crew.
00:59It is the best, you have to go through the boat.
01:03The crew will be helping people to arrive.
01:06We will use our crew on Earth to proceed with the crew on Earth.
01:09We will be able to advance this year and this year.
01:12We have no idea what the crew will be doing, but this year will be up to the crew as well.
01:14We work on a crew.
01:15We work on a crew on the crew.
01:16We work on a crew on Earth to rise.
01:18We have to have to wait a few minutes, but we have to wait for a crew to do that.
01:20Let's see.
01:22What we will do in the crew?
02:54We're in step 4.2 and we're waiting to capture for lighting conditions.
02:59Houston copies.
03:00Houston copies.
03:01The crew is standing by for better lighting conditions.
03:25We did just recently exit that orbital night time and are into that orbital daytime right
03:33now.
03:34This is a live view of Cygnus and the robotic arm on the left.
03:39The robotic arm has not started to move yet.
03:42The crew is waiting for better lighting conditions.
04:09At the end of the robotic arm is the Lee, that's the latching end effector, the hand
04:30of the arm.
04:31There are latches and snares that are going to grab onto the target.
04:36NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick is going to maneuver that arm so that it can grab onto
04:41the station on 2.
04:43We're ready with the lighting and we can complete step 4.2 on your go.
04:49Houston copies, go for it.

05:25NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps on board the space station confirmed.
05:32They are good to proceed with capture.
05:33However, the robotic arm is not currently moving yet.
05:39.
05:40NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps on board the space station confirmed that they are good to proceed
05:58with capture.
05:59However, the robotic arm is not currently moving yet.
06:05You are seeing live views of that capture on your screen right now.
06:19And we have confirmed movement, the crew is pushing in the robotic arm to Cygnus.
06:33We do have a camera at the end of that Lee or the latching end effector.
06:40We are seeing live views now as NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick pushes in the robotic arm to Cygnus.
06:53The circle towards the bottom is actually the grapple target.
06:57Dominick is going to be aiming for that horizontal bar just above it.
07:04The fixtures on the robotic arm are going to engage with that circular pinwheel shape that
07:10is directly below the horizontal bar.
07:27Two meters away.
07:34One meter.

08:332.11 a.m. Central Time, 3.11 a.m. Eastern Time, while the space station flew over the South Atlantic Ocean, Northrop Grumman's 21st commercial resupply service mission was successfully captured at the hands of NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick.
09:03The Cygnus cargo spacecraft, as you see on your screen, is now securely attached to the space station's robotic arm.
09:17Next up is going to be the installation of the Cygnus spacecraft. That is actually going to be done by the ground team here in Mission Control Houston.
09:29For now, NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick and Jeanette Epps are relieved from their duties, will go on to their tasks for the day.
09:39We are going to take a brief break on our coverage, and we will be back for that installation.
10:31Thank you We have a happy celebration.
10:33Never end, it's back.

10:57Houston Station on to you, the Cygnus capture is complete.
11:03We'll go for Cygnus post-capture reconfiguration.
11:07You know, the space station brings a lot of visiting vehicles aboard,
11:09and we make it seem regular, but there's nothing regular
11:13about making one space station connect to another.
11:15It's incredible every single time.
11:17Welcome aboard the space station, Dick Scopey.
11:23Houston copies all and concurs.
11:24This has been an incredible effort from both our Northrop Groen and NASA teams,
11:28and all the way from mission planning and preparation leading up to launch,
11:31and especially over the past 48 hours of mission execution.
11:34Outstanding work today to you all, and congrats on successfully capturing the 21st Cygnus
11:38and 50th visiting vehicle to the International Space Station.
11:41Why don't you all go celebrate with some ice cream?
11:46Did you say 50th?
11:47It's incredible.
11:48What an incredible group of teams from around the planet
11:50to make this happen every single time.
11:52Thank you, guys.
11:54You heard wonderful congratulatory remarks.
12:23Northrop Grumman's Cygnus spacecraft, supporting the 21st,
12:32Northrop Grumman's 21st commercial resupply service mission
12:35to the International Space Station,
12:37has been successfully grappled at the hands of NASA astronaut Matthew Dominic,
12:42with NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps serving as his backup.
