Dragon capsule heads for space station

The demonstration flight of America's new astronaut capsule will see it attempt to dock with the International Space Station (ISS). The Dragon vehicle, launched by California's SpaceX company on Saturday, is designed to make the attachment autonomously. It is the latest in a series of tests the capsule must pass in order to get approval from Nasa to transport people. All this particular mission is carrying is a test dummy and 90kg of supplies. The docking should occur at about 11:00 GMT.
