soft capture mechanism installed
That quickly? Are you sure?
Yup. There was only one bolt to drive a specific # of turns to fully engage. The battery was temporary to enable some LED sensor indicators to indicate full engagement was successful.
Great! So it's already for the upcoming rendezvous with Orion . . . .

Most likely a robotic probe to deorbit it or move it to a "graveyard" orbit.
