SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft was successfully captured by the International Space Station this morning, making it the first privately-owned vessel in history to dock with the ISS.

At around 14:00 UTC -- 10:00 a.m. ET -- the Dragon was grabbed by the station's Canadian-built robot arm and pulled into the docking birth on the ISS's Harmony node.

In case you missed the live broadcast, NASA has posted video of the historic event.
