A commercial Cygnus spaceship finished a three-day pursuit of the International Space Station on Sunday, delivering nearly 2,800 pounds of supplies, fresh fruit, experiments and gifts to reinforce the orbiting laboratory's stockpiles.

Built and operated by Orbital Sciences Corp., the Cygnus spacecraft was grappled by the space station's robotic arm at 6:08 a.m. EST (1108 GMT) Sunday and berthed to the lab's Harmony module about two hours later.
