Now Inside KOS.

Dragon is inside the KOS, when your spacecraft walks through the gate of the ISS' front yard.

C2V2 system on the ISS ready to send the RETREAT command. This is a planned objective.

Here's what the gui looks like when a Draco is firing. Lower left.

Past waypoint 1. Retreat commanded issued at 140m

Edit to add: can see from HUD that Dragon is indeed retreating

Way Point 1
retreat command sent.

Next planned milestone is for ISS to issue HOLD command once Dragon retreats to 180m

Dragon in retreat, as planned. Bottom left is the Draco thruster set and you can see which ones are firing.

Enhanced view of current position.

Tom says the name of the Dragon camera shown in the past few shots is the Forward Media Camera, sitting just below the nose cone, "which looks directly down from where the nose cone is unhinged and opened."

There's also the mid-line camera, which looks directly out from the Dragon IDA and is used for docking.
