A Russian space capsule carrying a humanoid
robot has successfully docked at the International
Space Station after a failed attempt last week.
Russian space agency Roscosmos said on
Tuesday that the capsule carrying the robot
and other cargo docked at the orbiting lab early
morning Moscow time.
The robot, called Fedor, sent out a tweet upon
arriving saying: “Sorry about the delay. Got stuck
in traffic. Ready to work now.”
The capsule was launched as part of tests of a new
rocket that is expected to replace the workhorse
Soyuz-FG next year, but failed to dock.
Now it has safely arrived, Fedor will perform two
weeks of tests aboard the space station.
