  How long until hard dock?

  
  Depends...  They'll be in free drift until all motion between the two vehicles dampens out.

• The CDR and PLT now 'Terminating Rendezvous Ops', this mainly involves deselecting a number of forward RCS jets, loading new rates into the Digital Auto Pilot (DAP), powering down the docking systen and stowing the hand hand laser.
