PARIS, Feb. 24 (UPI) -- The European Space agency says its robotic Automated Transfer Vehicle has successfully docked with the International Space Station to deliver supplies.
Eight days after launch, the approach and docking were achieved autonomously Thursday by the robotic spacecraft's own computers, closely monitored by ESA and French space agency teams at the ATV Control Center in Toulouse, France, as well as by the astronauts aboard the space station, an ESA release said.
