"Look's like we've caught a dragon"!
Those were the words of British astronaut Tim Peake after he successfully captured this
unmanned cargo ship using a robotic arm on board the International Space Station.
The Space X craft was launched on Friday on a Falcon 9 rocket - a reusable rocket which
Made history when it became the first to successfully land on a drone ship at sea.
The company was congratulated by President Obama who said it's "because of innovators
like you & NASA that America continues to lead in space exploration".
The Dragon capsule was carrying carrying cabbage seeds, lab mice and an inflatable fabric room
which will be tested by the station's astronauts.
For only the second time in its history, there are now six crafts in all docked with the ISS.
Alongside the Dragon are two Russian Progress cargo ships, an American cargo ship, and two
Souyz capsules which carry astronauts.
The dragon is expected to return to earth with science experiments from the ISS in mid-may.
