Cygnus Arrives at ISS

Following its launch aboard an Antares rocket from Pad 0A at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility, Orbital Sciences Corporation's Cygnus spacecraft arrived at the International Space Station and was captured by the crew onboard with the Canadarm2 robotic arm. On its maiden resupply mission, Cygnus is delivering 1.5 tons of provisions and experiments to the Expedition 38 crew living aboard the orbital laboratory. Cygnus is scheduled to be installed on the Earth-facing port of the Harmony module, where it will remain for more than a month.
