Alpha Mission B-Roll - Thomas Pesquet - Cygnus NG-16 Capture - August 2021
Capturing a spacecraft requires a complex choreography between human and machine, but these two make it look easy. In this video ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet and NASA astronaut Megan McArthur work together to grapple and berth the Northrop Grumman Cygnus 16 spacecraft on the Earth-facing port of the Unity module on the International Space Station.
At 12:07 CEST (11:07 BST) Thursday 12 August, Megan used the International Space Station’s robotic Canadarm2 to grapple the spacecraft packed with over 3700 kg of science and supplies as Thomas monitored Cygnus systems during its approach. The Cygnus will remain docked to the Station for about three months before it departs in November 2021.
