They leave the covers in orbit ?

I take from the separation pictures that the covers were still there at separation.

Looks like solar arrays haven't deployed.

If that's the case, this could get interesting as they may still have enough battery to make one berthing attempt.

Yeah, but they could still try that one attempt to get to station on batteries per Gwen. This sounds more serious.

Panels stuck?

That would mean LOM

Oh no... the rocket performed so beautifully. It seems like this was the smoothest launch yet. Poor dragon. Hopefully it is just a software glitch that they can fix in flight.
