Moghbeli and Mogensen working to stow the lithium hydroxide canister - if I gather correctly, they put a cover on it so that it won't continue to absorb CO2 while they're docked and can use Station ECLSS.

I don't know exactly how reliable these figures are, but one of the telemetry items on https://iss-mimic.github.io/Mimic/ is the ISS total mass in kg. That increased from 472,008 kg to 485,727 kg after docking, which would suggest a total mass of 13,719 kg for Dragon and its occupants at time of docking.

Congratulations to NASA and SpaceX for another successful delivery of crew to the ISS.

For SpaceX the tenth successful crew arrival at the ISS in a bit over 3 years (39 months). That’s a terrific start to their crewed ambitions.

Are there any views / images where we can judge scale? Also did it come off, or was it something dropped that floated away? Neither is good, but doesn’t necessarily mean anything on Dragon is broken.

Great to be back in space again and to see our beautiful Earth!
 
Some images from the Dragon taken of Europe and Africa almost touching and our approach to the space station. That “star” close to the moon is the ISS.
