Once Cargo Dragon reaches Waypoint 2 at the 20-meter hold point, mission control will again assess the ship's health and conduct a "go/no go" poll for docking.

Cargo Dragon will make contact with the International Docking Adapter with a soft capture ring, which will bring in the capsule for a hard mate with a series of hooks to secure the spacecraft to the station. Cargo Dragon also has a set of rotary spring dampeners to lessen the shock of contact with the station.

The International Space Station will remain in attitude control with the Russian segment's thrusters throughout the docking. This is a change from Soyuz and Progress vehicles docking, during which the station goes into free drift with its attitude control functions switched off.

The Cargo Dragon spacecraft is closing in on the space station at about 30 centimeters per second.

Cargo Dragon is now about 140 meters, or 459 feet, from the space station.

And #CargoDragon is at Waypoint 2 -- 25m from the Station -- and holding for final "go" for docking. #CargoDragon #CRS21

Once it resumes the approach, the Crew Dragon will close in on the space station to about 10 centimeters per second, or less than a quarter-mile per hour.

Как я понял, Драгон ещё не пристыковался. Какая дальность сейчас?

Добро на стыковку

The space station astronauts have the ability to command a hold or abort of the docking until the so-called "Crew Hands Off Point," or CHOP, about 1.5 meters from the docking port.
