Started this one early. This will run through the entire Docked Ops phase of the mission. Undocking will be a new thread.

Next scheduled event is Dragon hatch opening/ingress at 11:40 GMT/06:40 Central.

Only post in this thread if it's an update for FD5+ and an official source like NASA on twitter etc. FD4 Berthing thread is still open.

From the FD4 thread:

Quote from: Targeteer on 05/26/2012 01:46 am
Slightly off-topic but the crew was just awakened by an on-board alarm. I missed the original call but I think I heard BGA (Beta gimbal assembly?) error that was being reset with no crew action.  We'll see if they let them sleep in a little longer...

EDIT:  I suppose this should be discussed over in the ISS thread, so I've posted this over there.  Head over there to discuss I guess.

Ground asks ISS to press record on MPC going into LOS.

Dragon temp is above dew point. Ground is go for pressure equalization.

25 Hours to clear out something the size of a small U-Haul truck?  Seems like it could be emptied out in 3-4 hours tops ...
