ISS020-E-040499 (17 Sept. 2009) --- A close-up view of a portion of the unpiloted Japanese H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) in the grasp of the International Space Station's robotic Canadarm2. NASA astronaut Nicole Stott, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Robert Thirsk and European Space Agency astronaut Frank De Winne, all Expedition 20 flight engineers, used the station's robotic arm to grab the cargo craft and attach it to the Earth-facing port of the Harmony node. The attachment was completed at 5:26 (CDT) on Sept. 17, 2009.
