Welcome aboard Dragon

ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet and NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough welcome the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, seen through the upper window of Cupola, to the International Space Station.

Carrying a payload of research equipment, cargo and supplies, Dragon rendezvoused with the Station on 23 February 2017. Thomas, assisted by Shane, operated the Canadarm2 robotic arm from inside Cupola to capture Dragon before it was relocated and attached to a Station docking port.
