Poor weather conditions caused the procedure to be delayed from Friday to Saturday.
On December 21st, the Dragon spaceship blasted off on its cargo mission, and two days later it delivered both science and Christmas gifts to the space station.
Dragon is the only cargo ship that can fly scientific experiments back to researchers on Earth, as all other cargo ships burn up in the atmosphere. Dragon is often used to carry back biological samples that need to be transferred to a scientific facility quickly, and splashing down in the Atlantic Ocean will allow for rapid transfer of samples to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in coastal Florida.
The crew of the space station has been packing up and organizing Dragon supplies for at least the last two weeks.
