Crew Dragon has arrived at Waypoint 1, located roughly 720 feet, or 220 meters, on the velocity vector in front of the International Space Station. This is within the approach corridor to the docking adapter on the station's Harmony module.

Heading through Waypoint 1. Very smooth approach so far!

F9/Crew-1: Range: ~200m; Crew Dragon is moving straight in to waypoint 2 just 20m in front of ISS; that's a final checkpoint before clearance to press in for docking

Once Crew 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.

Crew 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. Crew 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 soft capture ring of the docking mechanism has been extended, according to SpaceX mission control.

Out of the TDRS handover.

Arriving at Waypoint 2. 20 meters from Station. Will hold at that point for input on lighting conditions.

Not happy with lighting conditions per the docking target (APAS). Holding for now.

The Crew Dragon spacecraft is holding about 66 feet, or 20 meters, from the space station. Mission control is "go" for docking, but the capsule will wait a few minutes for better lighting conditions before proceeding with the final approach.

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.

F9/Crew-1: SpaceX to Crew Dragon: "Soft capture confirmed;" at 11:02pm

The docking ring has retracted to begin the process of firmly connecting the space station and Crew Dragon vehicles. Commander Mike Hopkins reports the crew is opening their spacesuit visors.

The International Space Station's attitude control system has handed over control of the complex's orientation from the Russian segment's thrusters to the U.S. segment's control moment gyros.

This allows the first set of hooks to begin driving to create a firm connection between Dragon and station.
