ESA astronaut André Kuipers shared these photographs of the SpaceX Dragon approach and berthing that took place yesterday. Dragon was captured when the ISS was over Western Australia using the Station’s robotic arm Canadarm2, operated by NASA astronaut Don Pettit and assisted by André. Taking over the controls of the robotic arm, André then manouevred Dragon into position to berth the spacecraft with the Earth-facing port on the Harmony module.
