The Dragon, flying the fourth of twelve Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) missions for NASA, was grappled by the station's robotic arm at 6:52 am EDT (1052 GMT). The arm them berthed the spacecraft to the nadir docking port on the Harmony module at 9:21 am EDT (1321 GMT). Dragon, launched early Sunday, brought to the station about 2,200 kilograms of supplies, experiments, and other cargo, ranging from a 3-D printer to an earth sciences sensor that will be mounted on the station. Dragon will remain at the station for about a month before returning to Earth with about 1,500 kilograms of experiments and other station hardware.
