Apparently this is being launched on the next Dragon flight.
But I'm curious where it will be berthed.
Anyone know.
Picture shows it attached to the axial CBM on a Node:

It's the dome shaped thing on the axial CBM port. That's really all it
is. You open the CBM hatch, load this thing up with nano-satellites,
close the CBM hatch, undo the CBM attachment (motorized bolts), then use
the SSRMS to grab the dome shaped thing and aim it the other way for
satellite deployment.
