Shuttle Discovery arrives at ISS

The space shuttle Discovery has arrived at the International Space Station for a nine-day stay.

Commander Rick Sturkow used the main thrusters to dock at the station because the smaller manoeuvring ones were out of action.

The shuttle is carrying scientific and exercise equipment for the space station's residents.

This video contains edited footage of Nasa's live coverage of the event.
