SpaceX's Dragon capsule -- launched on a test mission for NASA -- was on Sunday approaching the International Space Station, where it was set to dock for the first time. Dragon was gradually climbing in altitude toward the ISS, which is orbiting the Earth at around 400 kilometers altitude and at a speed of 28,000 kilometers per hour -- orbiting the Earth in 90 minutes. The capsule has made two orbits since its launch on Saturday from the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral in Florida.
