Dragon on station

These images are from the NASA video of the Dragon craft docking with the ISS this morning. The craft is carrying 885 pounds of supplies and will take 1600 pounds back to Earth in about three weeks.

This is the first commercial resupply mission and it follows a test mission over the summer. There will be eleven more trips up by Dragon craft in the contract.

It is amazing that the company could build a ship and start to run martial up in such a short time. The US spent billions on the space program.
