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.
00:57NASA Laughing
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.
04:05At the end of the robotic arm is the Lee, that's the latching end effector, the hand of the
04:30arm.
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...
04:42...station on two.
04:43We're ready with the lighting and we can complete step 4.2 on your go.
04:50Houston copies.
04:51Go for it.
04:56Go for it.
05:45NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps on board the space station confirmed that they are good to proceed
05:58with capture, however the robotic arm is not currently moving yet.
06:05You are seeing live views of that capture on your screen right now.
06:15And 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.
06:40You are seeing live views now as NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick pushes in the robotic arm
06:47to 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
07:09is directly below the horizontal bar.
07:272 meters away.
07:461 meter.

08:20Atlantic Ocean.
08:21Northrop Grumman's 21st commercial resupply service mission was successfully captured as
08:25the space station flew over the south Atlantic Ocean.
08:27Northrop Grumman's 21st commercial resupply service mission was successfully captured as the
08:28hands of NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick.
08:352.11 a.m. central time, 3.11 a.m. eastern time while the space station flew over the south
08:43Atlantic Ocean.
08:44Northrop Grumman's 21st commercial resupply service mission was successfully captured at
08:50the hands of NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick.
08:58The Cygnus cargo spacecraft as you see on your screen is now securely attached to the space
09:11station's robotic arm.
09:19Next up is going to be the installation of the Cygnus spacecraft.
09:24That 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,
09:38will 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.

10:15Hello?
10:17Hey Carolaoh.
10:18You're!
10:19Sorry.
10:20I had been doing the research and toll by John.
10:51We'll go for Cygnus post-capture reconfiguration.
11:05You know, the space station brings a lot of visiting vehicles aboard, and we make it seem
11:12regular, 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.
11:21Houston copies all and concurs.
11:24This has been an incredible effort from both our Northrop Groen and NASA teams, and all
11:29the way from mission planning and preparation leading up to launch, and especially over the
11:32past 48 hours of mission execution, outstanding work today to you all, and congrats on successfully
11:37capturing the 21st Cygnus and 50th visiting vehicle to the International Space Station.
11:41Why don't you all go celebrate with some ice cream?
11:42Did you say 50th?
11:46It's incredible.
11:47What an incredible group of teams from around the planet make this happen every single time.
11:51Thank you, guys.
12:27Northrop 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 Dominick, with NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps serving as his backup.
12:462.11 a.m. Central Time, 3.11 a.m. Eastern Time is our official time of capture.
