(20 Jul 2016) SpaceX finally has made good on its delivery of a space station docking port.
A Dragon capsule arrived at the International Space Station on Wednesday morning, bearing more than 2 tons of supplies.
The shipment includes a docking port needed for future rocket ships.
SpaceX is working on a crew-worthy Dragon, while Boeing is developing a capsule for astronauts named Starliner.
SpaceX launched its latest Dragon from Cape Canaveral on Monday.
A year earlier, the first of these new docking rings was destroyed in a SpaceX launch accident. NASA and Boeing - which makes the ports - is working on a replacement that should fly in another 1½ years.
The two US space station residents used a robot arm for Wednesday's 250-mile-high operation above America's Great Lakes.
The newly arrived science experiments include a DNA decoder, or sequencer, that will get a workout by the first virus-hunter in space, NASA astronaut Kate Rubins.
This is the second high-flying delivery this week.
A Russian supply ship pulled in Monday night.
