The SpaceX Dragon capsule, which launched from a Falcon 9 rocket on Tuesday, berthed with the ISS just after 9:30 a.m.
Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti captured the capsule, saying afterwards, “It’s been just amazing. Lots of science and even coffee’s in there, so that’s pretty exciting.”
Along with the espresso machine are several experiments including those for Scott Kelly, who is currently participating in NASA’s One Year Mission in collaboration with Russian Space Agency’s Mikhail Kornienko.
Dragon is scheduled to depart the station on May 21.
