Cygnus has arrived in the imaginary box for capture. The spacecraft will be placed in "free drift" mode, disabling its control thrusters to prevent any sudden movements while the robot arm is grabbling the freighter and ensuring it won't fight against the arm's capture.

Cygnus is holding at 12 meters (39 feet).

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.

Using the International Space Station's robotic Canadarm2, Expedition 51 Flight Engineer Thomas Pesquet of ESA (European Space Agency) and Commander Peggy Whitson successfully captured Orbital ATK's Cygnus cargo spacecraft at 6:05 a.m. EDT. The space station crew and robotic ground controllers will position Cygnus for installation to the orbiting laboratory's Earth-facing port of the Unity module.

NASA Television coverage of installation will begin at 7:30 a.m., and installation of the Cygnus spacecraft to the space station is expected to be completed later this morning.
