[b]Cygnus captured by space station robotic arm[/b] ISS Expedition 38 crew members Mike Hopkins and Koichi Wakata captured Orbital Sciences Corp.'s Cygnus cargo spacecraft using the International Space Station's robotic arm at 5:08 a.m. CST (1108 GMT) as the vehicles flew 260 statute miles (420 kilometers) over the Indian Ocean, northeast of Madagascar. The Orb-1 "Spaceship C. Gordon Fullerton" will now be maneuvered by Wakata for berthing on the Earth-facing port of the space station's Harmony module.
