International Space Station receives cargo ship carrying supplies despite jammed solar panel
Fox News
A Northrop Grumman capsule that launched from Virginia delivered more than 8,000 pounds of supplies to the International Space Station on Wednesday.
As the capsule made its slow approach, the space station crew took pictures so engineers might understand what went wrong. NASA astronaut Nicole Mann then used the station's robot arm to grab the spacecraft, dubbed the S.S. Sally Ride in honor of America's first woman in space.
Among the 8,200 pounds of supplies: brackets needed for a spacewalk next week to expand the station's power, as well as apples, blueberries, cheese, peanut butter and ice cream for the station's U.S., Russian and Japanese crew of seven.
