Sounds like MCC-X is disabling Dragon's thrusters...Station crew is standing by to continue.


Surely they mean ISS thrusters, hasn't Dragon been inert since free drift?

Also: "[Dragons] solar arrays in zero position"

I would have assumed that Dragon's thrusters would have been disabled even before capture.

You're right -- my mistake, the call was referring to Station thrusters.  Crew given a go to continue to RTL position.

Four green talkbacks on the RTL indicators.  Go for 1st stage capture.  (Don Pettit still operating the arm; Joe Acaba is the CBM operator.)

For me, this install stage/capture was the big deal. This is history, where people will be reading this all back in years to come.
