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.

02:46We're in step 4.2 and we're waiting to capture for lighting conditions.
02:59Houston copies.
03:21The crew is standing by for better lighting conditions.
03:25We did just recently exit that orbital nighttime and are into that orbital daytime right now.
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.
03:42Again, the crew is waiting for better lighting conditions.
03:44Yeah.
04:14At the end of the robotic arm is the Lee.
04:28That's the latching end effector, the hand of the arm.
04:30There 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 the...
04:42Station on 2.
04:43We're ready with the lighting and we can complete step 4.2 on your go.
04:49Houston copies.
04:50Go for it.
04:51Sailor.
04:55John?
04:55Sure.
05:51NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps on board the space station confirmed that they are good to proceed with capture. However, the robotic arm is not currently moving yet. You are seeing live views of that capture on your screen right now.
06:10And we have confirmed movement. The crew is pushing in the robotic arm to Cygnus.
06:25We do have a camera at the end of that Lee or the latching end effector. You are seeing live views now as NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick pushes in the robotic arm to Cygnus.
06:48The circle towards the bottom is actually the grapple target. Dominick is going to be aiming for that horizontal bar just above it.
07:02The fixtures on the robotic arm are going to engage with that circular pinwheel shape that is directly below the horizontal bar.

08:39While 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.
08:52The Cygnus cargo spacecraft, as you see on your screen, is now securely attached to the space station's robotic arm.
09:18Next up is going to be the installation of the Cygnus spacecraft.
09:23That is actually going to be done by the ground team here in Mission Control Houston.
09:31For now, NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick and Jeanette Epps are relieved from their duties, will go on to their tasks for the day.
09:40We are going to take a brief break on our coverage and we will be back for that installation.
10:48We're going to go for Cygnus post capture reconfiguration.
10:49You know the space station brings a lot of visiting vehicles aboard and we make it seem regular but there's nothing regular about making one space station connect to another.
11:01You know, the space station brings a lot of visiting vehicles aboard and we make it seem
11:11regular but there's nothing regular about making one space station connect to another.
11:15It's incredible every single time.
11:17Welcome aboard the space station, Dick Scopey.
11:22Houston copies all and concurs.
11:24This has been an incredible effort from both our Northrop Groen and NASA teams and all
11:28the way from mission planning and preparation leading up to launch and especially over the past 48 hours of mission execution.
11:33Outstanding work today to you all and congrats on successfully capturing the 21st Cygnus and 50th visiting vehicle to the International Space Station.
11:40Why don't you all go celebrate with some ice cream?
11:45Did you say 50th? It's incredible.
11:47What an incredible group of teams from around the planet make this happen every single time.
11:51Thank you guys.
11:58You heard wonderful congratulatory remarks.
12:23Northrop Grumman's Cygnus spacecraft supporting the 21st Northrop Grumman's 21st commercial resupply service mission to the International Space Station has been successfully grappled at the hands of NASA astronaut Matthew Dominic with NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps serving as his backup.
