Teams will wait for proper lighting to provide a GO for Capture. The crew will then work through final setup & put #Dragon in Free Drift.

That's the view Peggy and Jack have from Cupola. Stunning, not least with both vehicles traveling at 17,500mph.

SpaceX's Dragon cargo craft is again on final approach to the International Space Station, now flying at a distance of around 200 feet, or 62 meters.

The Dragon spacecraft is carrying 5,970 pounds (2,708 kilograms) of supplies, experiments and other hardware to the space station. The commercial spaceship launched Saturday aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

NASA says this morning's rendezvous is going well and everything is on track for the Dragon spaceship to be captured by the station's robotic arm around 10 a.m. EDT (1400 GMT).

The Dragon spacecraft is at a hold point 30 meters, or 98 feet, from the space station. There will be polls of teams in Houston and Hawthorne in the next few minutes before departing this hold point.

Astronauts Peggy Whitson and Jack Fischer will ensure that the Dragon appears to be in the correct position for this point in the rendezvous. The crew has a control panel linked with Dragon via UHF radio to issue simple commands in case of any problem. For example, the astronauts could tell the spacecraft to hold, abort or retreat.

Whitson and Fischer are inside the space station's cupola module for this morning's arrival.

06/05/2017 16:28
With the space station crew, Houston and Hawthorne all ready for final approach, Dragon has resumed its glacial flight toward the complex to the so-called capture box, which is about 10 meters, or 32 feet, beneath the outpost.

Dragon has arrived at the capture point 10 meters, or 32 feet, beneath the space station and within the reach of the 58-foot robotic arm.

06/05/2017 16:39
Mission control and the space station crew will wait for orbital sunrise and better lighting before pressing on with capture of Dragon with the robotic arm.

06/05/2017 16:44
Mission control just radioed the crew they are "go" to capture Dragon.

06/05/2017 16:47
The robotic arm is in motion to grapple the Dragon spacecraft.

06/05/2017 16:54
Capture confirmed! The robotic arm grappled Dragon as the space station flew about about 260 miles over the Atlantic Ocean just east of the coast of Argentina.

06/05/2017 16:55
Capture occurred at 9:52 a.m. EDT (1352 GMT).

06/05/2017 16:56
The next step this morning will be to move Dragon to an Earth-facing berthing port on the space station's Harmony module in the next few hours.

06/05/2017 16:58
Today's arrival marks the 11th time a Dragon spacecraft has reached the space station, the 92nd unpiloted cargo ship to arrive at the complex, and the 182nd overall mission to reach the outpost.
It was the second time this specific capsule has arrived at the space station, after a round-trip cargo flight in late 2014.
