Grasped by the robotic arm, the Dragon spacecraft is at its planned release point below the space station.

Ground controllers in Houston will command the arm to release the capsule at 9:24 a.m. EDT (1324 GMT).

Astronauts aboard the station will stand by at a communications panel and a robotic arm control console inside the lab's cupola module to issue commands to Dragon or take charge of the arm if necessary.

The crew will monitor the spacecraft until it exits the so-called keep-out sphere 200 meters (660 feet) around the space station.
