https://twitter.com/bubbinski/status/1631200009814441986Reed: on Sunday night one signature looked funny: how much TEA-TEB was going back into the catch tank. Was not seeing the amount we expected. Started to see this about an hour before, wanted to understand better during the last hour of count. #Crew6
https://twitter.com/bubbinski/status/1631200327343931393Reed: at the end of the day we could not be sure we had enough TEA-TEB so we scrubbed. Replaced a clogged filter, was not getting enough TEA-TEB into the catch tank. We *probably* could have launched but we want to be sure. #Crew6
He emphasised that especially with crew want to be certain there’s no issue.

https://twitter.com/bubbinski/status/1631200631959724032Reed: TEA-TEB system worked well tonight. Dragon hook issue - only 6 hooks used to hold down nosecone. 12 hooks used to dock to ISS. Same hooks used for both purposes. #Crew6
https://twitter.com/bubbinski/status/1631201140288413697Reed: there are 3 switches per hook. 1 of the 36 switches was not indicating correctly. Not matching what other switches were saying. All hooks moved to redundant motor windings. Worked perfectly. Confident it’s just an issue with the one switch. Can ignore data from that. #Crew6
So the issue was with 1 out of 36 limit switches. Expect to move back to primary windings once Sara from bad switch ignored. Should be no issue for 6. month mission.

Don't know if asked before...
Has Crew-6 spacecraft any new improvements to attach Soyuz seatliners, just if needed again?

I was kind of expecting the Emirati guys would announce they join Artemis / the Gateway by providing the Airlock. Crew-6 was the perfect opportunity. Obviously the deal is not there yet.

Boost burn completed nominally. Next burn will be the close coelliptic burn.

I would expect limit switches to be sensing the mechanical position of the hook.
How does changing motors fix that? (if the issue is indeed the sensor and not the hook).
If the sensor is on the motor and the hook can move differently than the motor (i.e. not a hard direct physical coupling) then the sensors are not really telling you anything?
I'm sure the reality makes perfect sense, I'm just not understanding.
Edit: changed embeded tweet.

The deal might be done. However the Emirati guy isn't high enough in pay grade to announce Gateway participation, IMO.
