Delay Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Minor issues on Bob's suit, but inside margins. I wonder if they either have replacements in capsule or repair capabilities on station? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they either have replacements in capsule or repair capabilities on station? Sounds like the solution might be as simple as pulling the zippers all the way closed. It's like they backed off 1 tooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as it is inside margins, and it is, everything's fine. Especially now they (ground) have plenty of time to look into any issues they had during their flight.

GDJ Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) And they are docked! Well done! Now the leak check......hopefully that goes as well as the rest of the flight. Edited May 31, 2020 by GDJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Russians has got big antennas and stuff, but this one seems a lot more lean. Is it like the Shuttle system that use LIDAR or like whatever they have on the ISS that allows berthing or ? I think it's a combination of GPS, LIDAR, and visual cameras. It sounds suspiciously similar to Tesla's autopilot system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerbiloid Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) So, a private craft has been successfully parked. Okay, okay...

You've answered. They use smartphones. Edited May 31, 2020 by kerbiloid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been 24 years since the issuance of the Ansari X Prize, and even then it seemed like a pipe dream. This is the one of the early steps of many to come in opening up space for the masses. One major setback would have doomed any of these projects. Look at Scaled Composites. This is the baby step time of the industry. We can't compare this process to the Apollo program, which was a wartime project with more effort than the Manhattan project. This will take time. Within 50 years the dream will be realized.

This is the interface used for maneuvering the spacecraft: https://iss-sim.spacex.com/ Try it yourself! It appears on one of the touchscreens. You can see it in action on the real spacecraft in some of the interior over-the-shoulder shots and in the astronauts' tour of their craft.
