Next, control of the robotic arm passes to Houston ground controllers to perform the manoeuvre of the Dragon to berth it to the Earth-facing docking port on the Harmony module.

Re: Dragon on final approach to ISS
Thanks for the heads-up, btw, JazHaz.. unlike the first time, I remembered to take a series of screen-grabs on the approach and capture.. standing by on the final docking now..
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Re: Dragon on final approach to ISS
Yep... it was actually good to see those post-launch problems being solved, and a successful docking accomplished.
