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.
00:57пока.
03:23The crew is standing by for better lighting conditions.
03:25We did just recently exit that orbital nighttime and are into that orbital day time right now.
03:35This 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.
04:12At the end of the robotic arm is the Lee.
04:28That's the latching end effector, the hand of 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.
04:50Houston copies.
04:51Go for it.
05:11.
05:15.
05:19.
05:23.
05:27.
05:28.
05:30.
05:32NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps on board the space station confirmed that they are good
05:57to proceed with capture however the robotic arm is not currently moving yet you are seeing
06:05live 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 you are seeing
06:41live views now as NASA astronaut Matthew Dominic pushes in the robotic arm to Cygnus
06:51the circle towards the bottom is actually the grapple target Dominic is going to be aiming
06:58for that horizontal bar just above it the fixtures on the robotic arm are going to engage with
07:07that circular pinwheel shape that is directly below the horizontal bar
07:26two meters away
07:37one meter
08:07two eleven a.m central time
08:35a.m. Central Time, 3.11 a.m. Eastern Time. While the space station flew over the South
08:43Atlantic Ocean, Northrop Grumman's 21st Commercial Resupply Service mission was successfully
08:49captured 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
09:10space station's robotic arm.
09:19Next up is going to be the installation of the Cygnus spacecraft. That is actually going
09:24to 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,
09:38will go on to their tasks for the day. We are going to take a brief break on our coverage
09:44and we will be back for that installation.

10:42We go for Cygnus post-capture reconfiguration, you know the space station brings a lot of
11:08visiting vehicles aboard, and we make it seem regular, but there's nothing regular about
11:13making 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.
11:25This has been an incredible effort from both our Northrop Groen and NASA teams,
11:28all the way from mission planning and preparation leading up to launching,
11:31especially over the past 48 hours of mission execution.
11:33Outstanding 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 make this happen every single time.
11:51Thank you, guys.
12:08You 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 successful.
12:25Grappled at the hands of NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick, with NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps serving as his backup.
12:442-11 a.m. Central Time, 3-11 a.m. Eastern Time is our official time of capture.
