                  Space X Cargo Ship Arrives at Space Station

   by VOA News

   The privately-owned Space X unmanned cargo ship has arrived at the
   International Space Station carrying several tons of supplies for the
   crew.

   American astronauts Jeff Williams and Kate Rubins used the station's
   Canadian-built robot arm to grab the unmanned[1] Dragon capsule early
   Wednesday morning after its two-day trip to catch up to the orbital
   outpost.

   Among the supplies aboard the Dragon is a new docking port for the ISS
   that will accommodate the privately-owned spacecraft that will carry
   crews and cargo to the station under NASA's Commercial Crew program.

   The companies involved in the program, SpaceX and Boeing, will begin
   launching manned crews next year.The manned craft are scheduled to
   begin test flights next year.
