Do they check the seals of the CBM before berthing?

Reporting on the Dragon side currently. The Station side has already been configured and inspected.

ISS attitude change before they can move the arm.

Thanks Ron, great work!

Last call from ISS Orbit 1 today; have to hold on Station arm maneuvers until after the Station maneuvers to a different attitude.

Looks like a shift change in Hawthorne, too.

Going to be a few minutes to get the Station configured for arm maneuvers, ISS Orbit 2 CapCom Hal Getzelman just called up that the crew can take a little break if they want.

A bit like the orbiters, Dragon looking prettier in space.

CBM looks in good shape, per Don.

Two hours behind schedule.

Continue to berthing tonight, hope to be done by 20:30GMT. May downgrade to a single string of power for Dragon.

That early berthing (complete) time is 16:30 Eastern. Actual berthing (Hooks and latches) will be earlier.

I think the 20:30 GMT is more of a cutoff time...crew sleep is supposed to begin at 21:30 GMT. They are planning on skipping the USOS part of the evening DPC and working as long as possible, but hopefully it doesn't take that long.
