The Dragon spacecraft has just completed a major step of its CRS-2 (Cargo Resupply Service 2) mission being captured by the Canadarm2 robotic arm of the International Space Station. The docking operation will be performed by NASA astronauts Kevin Ford and Tom Marshburn to bring the Dragon to berth to the Harmony module. After the initial complications, this phase of the mission will really be a no-brainer.
