The capsule contains smoked turkey, green bean casserole, candied yams, cranberry sauce and fruitcake, as well as mice and worms for experiments
A SpaceX delivery full of Christmas goodies arrived at the International Space Station on Saturday, following a slight delay caused by a communication failure.
The Dragon capsule pulled up at the orbiting lab three days after launching from Cape Canaveral. Commander Alexander Gerst used the space station’s big robotic arm to grab the cargo carrier, as the two craft soared 250 miles above the Pacific.
It took two tries to get the Dragon close enough for capture.
Nasa called off the Dragon’s first approach because of trouble with the communication network that serves the space station.
