Beautiful trail of @SpaceX #Dragon 15's launch this morning over Cape Canaveral. The unmanned cargo vehicle carries lots of @iss_research experiments for us up here on @Space_Station, incl. several European and German ones. And maybe also a few letters from my family. #Horizons

SpX-15 Mission: At 5:56 AM CDT, the ISS crew used the Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS) to capture the Dragon vehicle. Ground specialists then maneuvered the spacecraft to the pre-install position where they performed an inspection of the Passive Common Berthing Mechanism (PCBM). Once complete, Dragon was berthed to the Node2 Nadir port at 09:38 AM CDT and the crew completed vestibule pressurization, leak checks, vestibule outfitting, and CBM Control Panel Assembly (CPA) rotation in support of tomorrow morning’s scheduled ingress.

SpaceX CRS-15 Launch Photographer Behind-the-Scenes, Orbital Sunrise, 500fps liftoff slow motion

Published on Jul 5, 2018

SpaceX CRS-15 took flight at 5:41 AM EST on Friday, June 29th, 2018. The emotion and light at this launch were piercing... awakening. In a small way, I hope to share some of those feelings in this behind the scenes video.

Several projects were underway at the time and this collection incorporates some of each. The Tesla Model S, 3, and X are part of a project we're calling “Dawn of a New Era” - and the final images and separate behind-the-scenes are coming soon

Fellow launch photographers Tom Cross, Mary Liz Bender, Erik Kuna and Amy Lynn are featured.

Learn more about how I'm pushing tech and my personal edge capturing rocket launch and space/science events all over the East Coast. See what special projects are underway https://www.patreon.com/ryanchylinski

From tranquil beaches all along the Space Coast to the roof of the Vehicle Assembly Building, curious and excited humans observed an incredible feat of engineering ornamented by the incredible beauty of our atmosphere

Those who woke early witnessed a rocket launch into an orbital sunrise. It was an unforgettable emotional experience that would carry them through the day and maybe much much further

Lots more to share about these projects and the spirit of collaboration and unity we tried to embody one early Friday morning

Music: I love this composition, transfixing depth and soaring. It's called Awake The Light by Borrtex. https://soundcloud.com/user-910809074

ISS Daily Summary Report – 7/05/2018

Dragon Cargo Operations: The crew completed several hours of Dragon unpack. Ground specialists estimate the crew will need another 20 hours to complete the unpacking.

Mobile Servicing System (MSS) Operations: This afternoon ground specialists will use the Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS) and Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator (SPDM) to extract the ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station (ECOSTRSS) payload from the Dragon Trunk. Once complete, they will maneuver and transfer the payload to the Japanese Experiment Module Remote Manipulator System (JEMRMS) for installation into Exposed Facility Unit (EFU)#10.

ISS Daily Summary Report – 7/06/2018

SpX-15 External Cargo Status: Last night ground specialists used the Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS) to extract ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station (ECOSTRESS) from the Dragon trunk and hand it off to the Japanese Experiment Module Remote Manipulator System (JEMRMS). The JEMRMS was then used to install ECOSTRESS at the Exposed Facility Unit (EFU)10 location. Ground specialists successfully activated ECOSTRESS. Tonight ground controllers will use the SSRMS to remove the empty Latching End Effector (LEE) Flight Support Equipment (FSE) from External Stowage Platform (ESP)-2 which will be installed in the trunk on Sunday, and then will extract the Launch on Need (LON) LEE from the Dragon trunk and install it at ESP-2.

Information about the CRS-15 Dragon on orbit should just be posted in the SpaceX CRS-15 Dragon - RNDZ, ISS Ops, EOM - UPDATES thread. There is no need to cross-post the information to this thread.
