The Dragon is 440 meters under the ISS. The goal is to move out ahead of the ISS and then rise in height, so as to be out in front of the ISS in relation to the Earth below.

Probably a little longer in time than we think...

Dragon is on a parabolic trajectory to rotate into position- Waypoint One, rotating the capsule about 90 degrees, putting the docking mechanism into a facing position with the ISS.

Dragon remains outside of a Do Not Enter sphere around the ISS.

This reminds me of the Apollo landing in 69.

She’s just making sure she has the right coordinates for her navigation system. ;)

I’m not sure which of the female pilots has the 200 hours of combat flight time.

On the left, the female pilot is US Air Force.

The other female pilot is US Army.

Both have ratings in over twenty types of aircraft. One has over 2,000 hours of flight time, and the other one has over 1,400 hours of flight time.

Is she using Siri or Google?

All four of them are attempting to appear symmetrical in the photo session. Military bearing and appearance. Protocol. ??? spitballing
