The Dragon capsule is one with the International Space Station.
On Wednesday morning, the historic SpaceX mission successfully completed the phase in which the cargo-loaded spacecraft berthed at the station.
NASA's SpaceX live blog followed the excitement: "Dragon is GO for capture! ... Capture is confirmed!"
Station commander Sunita Williams orchestrated the moves from inside the station.
As the Los Angeles Times reported early this morning: A series of delicate maneuvers preceded the historic Dragon docking. The operation is key to NASA's outsourcing of missions to private companies, which are filling a hole created by the retirement of the agency's space shuttles.
SpaceX announced by tweet that at 9:03 a.m. (6:03 PDT), Dragon was secured to the space station, "its home for the next 2.5 weeks."
NASA tweeted: "Hatch opening tomorrow."
Video from NASA on Tuesday told about the work on the space station leading up to the morning rendezvous with the Dragon, which is carrying 882 pounds of supplies.
