Cygnus CRS-11 Rendezvous and Capture - April 19, 2019

On April 19, 2019, at 5:30 a.m. EDT, Expedition 59 Flight Engineer Anne McClain of NASA used the International Space Station’s robotic Canadarm2 to grapple the Northrop Grumman Cygnus spacecraft as David Saint-Jacques of the Canadian Space Agency monitored Cygnus systems during its approach. Next, ground controllers will command the station’s arm to rotate and install Cygnus, dubbed the S.S. Roger Chaffee, on the bottom of the station’s Unity module. The station was flying over northeast France at an altitude of 254 miles when it was captured.
