Aboard the International Space Station,
Expedition 33 Commander Sunita Williams of NASA and Aki Hoshide of the
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency opened the hatch to the SpaceX Dragon
resupply craft at 1:40
p.m. EDT on Oct. 10, almost seven hours after the cargo vehicle was
grappled by the two crewmembers for berthing to the Earth-facing port of
the Harmony module. The arrival of Dragon at the station marked the
resumption of a U.S. cargo resupply capability for the orbital
laboratory and the first such delivery of supplies and vital science
experiments under NASA's Commercial Resupply Services contracts with
private corporations. Dragon is scheduled to remain at the station until
Oct. 28, when it will be unberthed for its deorbit and
parachute-assisted splashdown in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of
southern California as the only cargo craft capable of returning
supplies and experiments back to Earth.
