Flight director hand-over in work for transition from Orbit-1 to Orbit-2.
Crew way ahead of schedule, about 45 minutes.

That looks like a scene from 2001:A Space Odyssey.

Actually, it reminds me of the travel pod docking from 'Star Trek - The Motion Picture'. Look at the effects models and you'll even see that the pod used something like the CBM to secure itself to the Enterprise. The only difference is that the pod was the 'active' end rather than the receiver as in the real world CBM.
