Capture confirmed at 6:05 a.m. EDT! The station's robot arm, under the control of Expedition 51 flight engineer Thomas Pesquet, a Frenchman from the European Space Agency, extended itself to reach a grapple pin on the Cygnus and close snare wires around the pin fixture to firmly grasp the vessel.

Over the next orbit, Mission Control will remotely operate the robot arm to swing Cygnus under the Unity module and maneuver the freighter into position at the berthing port. Then, the astronauts will resume their involvement and command electrically-driven bolts inside the berthing port to affix Cygnus to the International Space Station.
