This mission is turning into a real "express delivery". They're going at it like kids on Christmas morning.

I have a question. How is air circulated between modules or in this case the ISS and Dragon?

I have looked for it but did not find it in the descriptions of the different berthing and docking adapters.

Thanks for any pointer.

Suni congratulates SpaceX and US space program for this "next great step".

Suni ready for conferences. MCC will set up audio and give her a call. Question time!!

Yes, it was. But this crew is very eager to get things going. So, with MCC's blessing, they opened her up a short while ago.

ISS supplies fresh air through the IMV(Inter Module Ventilation) Duct. The Dragon ventilation system takes this air and additional air from Dragon itself, and circulates that trough the vehicle.

Air returns though the big hatch to the other modules.

They've really sped up the process for this mission. Even Engine 1 shutdown ahead of schedule!

(sorry!)
