The ISS live streaming feed shows Cygnus merged with the ISS so it's obviously getting close. Fully expect to hear from the crew very early this morning

two ADV burns are showing on the ISS overlay. 1 is over Indonesia on this orbit with 2 to follow about 1/4 of an orbit later off of the southern west coast of S America.

DPC started. Gordon Fullerton at 23 km closing at 7 m/s. Houston referred to Cygnus as the Gordon Cooper when signing off--Freudian slip I guess
No Russian participation in the conference so this may be an off day for them.
