"Astronauts Demonstrate Spacecraft Capture with Robotic Arm on ISS (Video)"

NASA astronauts at the International Space Station demonstrated the process of capturing a Northrop Grumman Cygnus vehicle using the Canadarm2 robotic arm, which arrived with essential supplies for the Expedition 70 crew. The Canadarm2, managed by supplier MDA, has been instrumental in various space missions since its installation in 2001 and is now being succeeded by the Canadarm3. The new arm, equipped with advanced features, will be mounted on NASA's moon-orbiting Gateway station and is expected to play a crucial role in future space endeavors.
