[QUOTE="Ramjet, post: 457376, member: 214"] Spacex CRS-16 live berthing to the ISS. Something I learnt today. The term "docking" is when a space craft attaches itself to the ISS. "Berthing" is when it is physically helped to attach by the Canadarm. Both terms come from shipping. A ship that gets itself to the wharf is docking. A ship that is helped by tugboats is berthed. Cool. The current Dragon capsule takes supplies and science experiments to the ISS and is berthed. The Crew Dragon set for it's first flight in January will dock itself.
