LIVE: SpaceX CRS-4 Dragon - RNDZ, Berthing, ISS Ops - UPDATES
« on: 09/22/2014 11:43 pm »
UPDATE THREAD for SpaceX's CRS-4/SpX-4 RNDZ and Berthing - and Berthed Ops.

Quote
Live NASA TV coverage begins 5 a.m. EDT Tuesday as Gerst and Wiseman carefully guide the Canadarm2 to reach out and grapple Dragon at 7:04 a.m. The duo will then maneuver Dragon to its berthing spot on the Harmony node where it will stay for a month of cargo transfers.

Dragon is 11 km out with all burns on time.  according to one obviously disturbed astronaut, the only thing Dragon can say is "fly Navy"   :D
