Astronauts’ Christmas flown in by SpaceX

A SPACEX delivery full of Christmas goodies has arrived at the International Space Station.

The Dragon capsule pulled up at the orbiting lab yesterday, three days after launching from Florida.

It took two tries to get the Dragon close enough to be captured by the space station’s robot arm.

Nasa called off the Dragon’s first approach because of communication trouble.

It was a successful take two – just an hour and a half late – after Nasa switched to another TDRS satellite.

The Dragon holds everything the station astronauts need for Christmas dinner.
