SpaceX’s Dragon capsule will today attempt to dock with the International Space Station.

If everything goes as planned, SpaceX would become the first private company to ever complete such a feat.

The docking manuevers have already started — the Dragon is currently some 350 meters from the ISS — and the ISS’ robotic arm is expected to grab hold of Dragon at 9 a.m. EDT. Full berthing is expected two hours later.

Following a successful docking, the astronauts aboard the ISS will open the Dragon’s hatch the next day and unload the supplies the spacecraft is carrying.
