Space Station Live: Cygnus Robotics Operations

NASA Public Affairs Officer Dan Huot talks with Billy Jones, ROBO flight controller for the International Space Station's flight control team, about the upcoming arrival of the Orbital Sciences Cygnus cargo ship set to launch on its first demonstration mission to the station on Sept. 17. Cygnus will approach the station Sept. 22 and will be grappled by the crew using the station's robotic arm, Candarm2. It will then be installed on the bottom side of the station's Harmony node.
