The International Space Station, or ISS, received some interesting supplies Wednesday: ice cream and live mice. The SpaceX Dragon capsule connected with the ISS after a two-day flight from Cape Canaveral, Florida. American astronaut Jack Fisher used the space station’s robotic arm to capture the Dragon capsule. At the time, they were traveling 400 kilometers above the Pacific Ocean, near New Zealand. Most of the 3-ton load is for research. But the capsule also brought a sweet treat. The United States space agency, NASA, added vanilla, chocolate and birthday cake ice cream to the food supplies. That last flavor came just in time to celebrate American astronaut Randolph Bresnik’s birthday. He recently reached the ISS, and turns 50 next month.
