Dragon on final approach to ISS

Post by JazHaz »

I'm watching live on NASA TV.

Spaceflight Now Mission Status Center

HD Stream on uStream.tv

EDIT: I'm having trouble viewing the HD Stream today, so watching the lower res Spaceflight Now stream.

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.

Orbital nighttime, right now. :D
Thanks for the reminder.
Have Nasa tv sometimes on while playing Oolite on the other monitor... :wink:

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.. :D 8)
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

And they're done! 8)

Whilst the final stages were not quite as thrilling as watching paint dry, interesting nonetheless..

Yep... it was actually good to see those post-launch problems being solved, and a successful docking accomplished.
