NTV Schedule

I'll add the flight plan timelines later, as the updated ones become avaiable.

Upd: NTV timeline replaced with updated version.

Some hand held camera video. The second shot was narrated as "the Kojac with the Kodak". No doubt he will tell them off later. Worth checking the full vid of this.

PLT and CDR should be working the IMU align followed by the Group B powerups.

The group B powerups will bring the required number of GPCs online (among other systems) to support the Rendezvous and Prox ops of todays docking.
