After the safety tether had successfully held back the Eagle, the latter's speed was reduced to zero before the rope reached its limits. The arm slowly brought back the lander before docking with the United Space Station.
"Docking complete, Mr. Cat."
Tomcat let out a sigh of relief as it collapsed into its chair. Only then did it really feel at ease. Only when the docking mechanisms were in place did it mean that the Eagle had successfully berthed and that there wouldn't be any further problems.
The Orion commanded the Orion II to initiate its engines to accelerate the United Space Station up to a higher height, returning to an orbit of three hundred plus kilometers.
There was still plenty of propellant in the Orion's engine, so it could complete the task.
Only then did the resupply mission come to a successful conclusion.
