[b]S.S. Rick Husband berthed to space station[/b] The S.S. Rick Husband, an Orbital ATK Cygnus cargo freighter, was berthed to the Earth-facing port on the International Space Station's Unity module at 9:52 a.m. CDT (1452 GMT) on Saturday (March 26). Using Canadarm2, Expedition 47 commander Tim Kopra grappled the vehicle at 5:51 a.m. CDT (1051 GMT). The station crewmembers and the robotics officer in mission control in Houston then positioned the Cygnus for installation on the side of the node. The S.S. Rick Husband is delivering more than 7,200 pounds of science, crew supplies and vehicle hardware to the orbiting laboratory to support dozens of science and research investigations that will occur during Expeditions 47 and 48.
