And a tribute for Dr. Voss.

Well that was smooooth.
Ok, a lot of robotics to come. Keep an eye on things and let's ensure we get first and second stage berthing in a few hours.
Off to cover the next event, which is the launch of Saturn V with Apollo 11!! To the Moon!!

I photographed the duo flying overhead at around 4:35 EST today! SS Janice Voss is the faint object on the right.

All,
Orbital’s Cygnus spacecraft successfully berthed to the International Space Station at this morning at 6:36 a.m. EDT. On board were 32 CubeSats and 10 internal payloads from NanoRacks’ customers. The payloads held dozens of research experiments, technology demonstrations, and satellites set to deploy from the Space Station. NanoRacks customers included NASA Ames, the Student Spaceflight Experiment Program, Valley Christian High School, MIT Lincoln Labs, Planet Labs and more.
The first CubeSat deployment via the NanoRacks deployer is scheduled for the end of July.
Please find a copy of the press release attached or at this link:
http://nanoracks.com/wp-content/uploads/NanoRacks-Release-26-Cygnus-Successfully-Berthed-to-ISS.pdf
If you have any questions or would like further details on NanoRacks payloads and experiments, please reach out to me at any time.
Thanks,
Abby

Crew ops for hatch opening still scheduled for tomorrow, but they can sometimes go the same day if they get ahead.

Didn't know there was a camera here, is this from the outside of Destiny?

Have to leave for work, though.
