English: Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 33 Commander Sunita Williams of NASA and Aki Hoshide of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency opened the hatch to the SpaceX Dragon resupply craft at 1:40 p.m. EDT on Oct. 10, almost seven hours after the cargo vehicle was grappled by the two crewmembers for berthing to the Earth-facing port of the Harmony module. The arrival of Dragon at the station marked the resumption of a U.S. cargo resupply capability for the orbital laboratory and the first such delivery of supplies and vital science experiments under NASA's Commercial Resupply Services contracts with private corporations. Dragon is scheduled to remain at the station until Oct. 28, when it will be unberthed for its deorbit and parachute-assisted splashdown in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of southern California as the only cargo craft capable of returning supplies and experiments back to Earth.
