For some useless fun, SpaceX has put up a simulator for what it's like to dock Dragon to ISS.

Routine, but a little weird considering what's going on. |

Looks like they are postponing Starlink 7 until after DM2. Not enough available ASDS with JRTI currently getting upgraded.

I'm reading this as a "WTF did you say?" so forgive me if I'm misinterpreting.
To translate, though, they only have one functional drone ship (autonomous spaceport drone ship - ASDS) in the Atlantic because one of the two (Just Read the Instructions - JRTI) is under maintenance. So the gist is that they were supposed to be doing a Starlink launch last weekend, but it got delayed due to the tropical storm. That pushes it back close enough to the crew launch (Demo Mission 2 - DM2) that the other drone ship (Of Course I Still Love You - OCISLY) couldn't support both missions. As a result, they pushed back the Starlink launch until after they fly crew. This shit does get super acronym-y sometimes. There's a glossary in the OP fwiw. This gave me a new one to add. |
