A photo of the SpaceX Dragon commercial cargo craft as it flies over the coast of West Africa, taken from the International Space Station early Friday, May 25, 2012. In foreground is a portion of Canadarm2. Engineers aboard the International Space Station used the Canadarm2 robotic arm to grapple the supply ship.
