CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - A brand new Japanese space-station cargo ship arrived at its destination Thursday, expertly plucked from orbit by an astronaut who toasted the big event with her crewmates.

Space station resident Nicole Stott used the robot arm at the orbiting complex to grab the 18-ton supply ship as it hovered 30 feet away. The vessel - the first of its kind - was launched a week ago from Japan. It was the first time an unmanned ship was grabbed from orbit like this. The other ships dock at the space station.
