NASA Public Affairs Officer Brandi Dean talks with Robotics Officer Melanie Miller about the robotics operations supporting the capture and berthing of Orbital Sciences' Cygnus cargo craft. Commander Steve Swanson and Flight Engineer Alexander Gerst will be at the robotics workstation in the International Space Station's cupola to grapple Cygnus with the 57-foot Canadarm2 robotic arm at 6:39 a.m. Wednesday. The robotics team at Houston's Mission Control Center then will command the arm to position Cygnus for its installation on the Earth-facing port of the Harmony node. Cygnus is carrying almost 3,300 pounds of supplies to the station to expand the research capability of the Expedition 40 crew.
