On November 11, as the International Space Station soared over central Brazil at an altitude exceeding 262 miles, a SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft successfully and autonomously docked with the station’s Harmony module at 5:07 a.m. EST.

NASA astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O’Hara oversaw the operations from the station.

The Dragon was launched as part of SpaceX’s 29th contracted commercial resupply mission for NASA at 8:28 p.m. EST on November 9.

The liftoff took place from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Sci-Tech Daily reported.

Following approximately one month of attachment to the space station, the Dragon will return to Earth, carrying cargo and research materials.
