Good news there. IDA-3 is planned to arrive (2018 August or earlier), and possibly be operational, before Starliner's first visit to ISS. Hopefully IDA-2 will already be busy with crew rotation missions (CrewDragon) by then.

Has NASA changed their goals/rules about the number of available docking ports during crew missions?  I was under the impression that they considered having 2 open docking ports a requirement.  The logic being that if there was a problem docking to 1 they could still use the backup and would lower the risk of terminating the mission.
Shouldn't reality posts be in "Advanced concepts"?  --Nomadd

Perhaps it is not a requirement for an arriving docking cargo flight?
Any day with a rocket landing is a fantastic day.

The photos included in this article could be very useful for my scale modeling efforts, but I'd like to have them at a higher resolution. Where can I find the originals?
