More photos from Artemyev

Why do I always end up feeling like the Russians have better photographers? Or maybe they just have cleaner windows, IDK?

While we learn by taking selfies they're learning the rule of thirds & composition.

That close of up the docking adaptor is fantastic.

NIT: "Mating/Berthing" adapter... (AKA, CBM - Common Berthing Adapter)

I point this out as docking is the act of the spacecraft actively attaching to the station. However, the Cargo Dragon is berthed by the SSRMS.

Please remember that this is an updates thread, and any discussion should go into the discussion thread.

During the night (in Europe) on the ISS Live stream Dextre was shown attached to the SSRMS.
Does anybody know the next task of him, extraction of MISS-FF or PFCS?

Olaf · « **Reply #86 on:** 04/06/2018 03:42 pm »

I got it.

Mobile Servicing System (MSS) SpX-14 Operations: Later today, ground robotic specialist will release the Dragon vehicle and unstow the Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator (SPDM). Finally, the Enhanced ORU Temporary Platform (EOTP) will be configured to support tomorrow’s operations to extract the Pump and Flow Control Subassembly (PFCS) and Materials International Space Station Experiment (MISSE) from the Dragon trunk.

#Dextre has removed the first payload from the Dragon trunk!

Olaf · « **Reply #89 on:** 04/07/2018 06:29 am »

The payload (PFCS?) is temporarely stowed on the EOTPS and the arm is free.
Round about 7 hours ago.

The second payload (MISSE-FF) is out of the trunk.
Round about 4 hours ago.

Thanks for featuring DEXTRE. It was a treat to see DEXTRE in launch pallet just before launch on STS-123 (from SSPF on trip to see STS-122 launch).

DEXTRE at work again this Sunday....
