Japan's new resupply spacecraft docks at International Space Station
Japan's HTV-X resupply vehicle arrives at the International Space Station where a robot arm operated by astronaut Kimiya Yui awaits early Thursday. Japan's newly developed HTV-X resupply vehicle arrived at the International Space Station in the small hours of Thursday Japan time. Japanese astronaut Kimiya Yui, 55, successfully caught the craft with a robotic arm around 12:58 a.m. and attached it to the ISS. "Thank you for entrusting me with this important task today," Yui said in communication with ground control soon after that. "Congratulations on the capture," fellow Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide, 56, responded from the control room at NASA in the United States.
