Grapple fixture details
From watching the video of the capture, I'm curious as to how the
grapple fixture is actually deployed. Is it on the (prelaunch) underside of the hatch, and flips into position? Is it on a "shelf" seperate from the hatch and swings out? Have any Gentle Readers here found good pictures showing the mechanism? Also, the two videos in the NASA gallery that show capture keep switching between different cameras. I hope that the Gallery Keepers will do something like the Shuttle Launch programming, where there's a video file of all the different cameras, each camera getting a full run before playing the next camera in sequence. /dps -- Who, me? And what lacuna? |

In this case, perhaps NASA wants a "new capsule" for each ISS mission, False. NASA did not make that a requirement. For CRS, since the ability to refurb the capsules and costs were unknown, NASA said to price the missions as though there would be new capsules for missions. |
