That’s the youth of today for you. Don’t seem to appreciate the value of silence.

Yes, that was annoying me as well. We seem to live in a society where silence is abhored. If this was 1969 I bet they would play music during quiet periods of lunar EVAs!

SpaceX Crew Dragon Successfully Docks to Station

Mark Garcia Posted on March 3, 2019

After making 18 orbits of Earth since its launch early Saturday morning, the Crew Dragon spacecraft successfully attached to the International Space Station’s Harmony module forward port via “soft capture” at 5:51 a.m. EST while the station was traveling more than 250 miles over the Pacific Ocean, just north of New Zealand.

As the spacecraft approached the space station, it demonstrated its automated control and maneuvering capabilities by arriving in place at about 492 feet (150 meters) away from the orbital laboratory then reversing course and backing away from the station to 590 feet (180 meters) before the final docking sequence from about 65 feet (20 meters) away.

The Crew Dragon used the station’s new international docking adapter for the first time since astronauts installed it during a spacewalk in August 2016, following its delivery to the station in the trunk of a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft on its ninth commercial resupply services mission.

For the Demo-1 mission, Crew Dragon is delivering more than 400 pounds of crew supplies and equipment to the space station. A lifelike test device named Ripley also is aboard the spacecraft, outfitted with sensors to provide data about potential effects on humans traveling in Crew Dragon.

The Crew Dragon is designed to stay docked to station for up to 210 days, although the spacecraft used for this flight test will remain docked to the space station only five days, departing Friday, March 8.

Opening of the Crew Dragon hatch will air on NASA Television and the agency’s website beginning at 8:30 a.m.

Nice to see this getting attention on BBC and Sky News. Good to see the interest. Interesting that the BBC said the "Space X pod" had docked with the ISS.

Hadn't heard that one before.

Talk about a love letter to ISS, congratulations to the SpaceX team for the immense work they have accomplished.
From top to bottom Pad/launcher/Capsule it's unbelievable.

The contact ring on the IDA is extremely shiny as viewed from Dragon, just as the underlying contact ring was on Shuttle approach as seen by STORRM on STS-134.
And nice to see the visual docking target with the small targets clamped to it.
Hello old friends. It’s been too long.

This muxak is annoying as hell ...

saturnapollo · « **Reply #949 on:** 03/03/2019 10:40 am »

I switched to the NASA ISS feed and the music is there so must be originating from NASA and not SpaceX.

A12 · « **Reply #950 on:** 03/03/2019 10:41 am »

What about docking and entering into ISS when it is uncrewed?
Is that feasible using IDA?

Its like the music playing when you are on hold with technical support ...

Listen to the livestream from JD linked above, no music...

I have the NASA stream muted and open, and then http://www.ustream.tv/channel/live-iss-stream stream playing with sound on. The linked stream doesn't have music but plays the ISS comms.

[SMLI] Catastrophic failure [r something inaudible], brackets being uncertain.

Something "catastrophic failure" and that they'd talk to Russia about it. So some kind of alarm in the Russian side? I've never heard of any alarm called "catastrophic failure". Sounds extreme.

JDTractorGuy · « **Reply #958 on:** 03/03/2019 10:50 am »

All I heard was something about an error code with "Catastrophic failure" in it.

Rocket Science · « **Reply #959 on:** 03/03/2019 10:52 am »

Confirmed, that's what I heard as well, thanks...
