Launch details

Dragon is scheduled to arrive at the station and dock at the Harmony module's space-facing port on Monday (Aug. 30) around 11 a.m. EDT (1500 GMT). There's already another SpaceX vehicle at the orbiting lab: the Crew Dragon "Endeavour," which launched on April 23, carrying a crew of four astronauts. (It's not the first time that two Dragons have been parked at the same time; in fact, there's been at least one Dragon docked to the space station every day so far in 2021.)

I believe that the above is correct as at the time of posting this. If anyone knows differently, then please post an update.

Thank you Sir.

You are VERY welcome.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the graphs and technical information. I also like the fact that we could see it lining up with the cross-hairs for the FIRST autonomous docking, a bit of history being made.

That doesn't sound good.

I am just watching it, and although it is very interesting, we cannot really see exactly what they are doing. It would be better if they actually had cameras on their suits and helmet.

Typical.

Forget what I said, they are now showing us what is going on through their cameras attached to them.

NOTE: I just watched ALL 7 Hours 54 Minutes of it, PLUS the build-up and after Mission round up, VERY interesting.
