Live: SpaceX Dragon docking with ISS 14 years ago
Dragon doesn't autonomously dock. It flies within range of the space station's robotic arm, is grappled, and then is slowly berthed to a docking port.

Dragon doesn't autonomously dock. It flies within range of the space station's robotic arm, is grappled, and then is slowly berthed to a docking port.
If NASA had switched to Vista, station would have deorbited.
They just announced an 8:10 am central time for robotic capture. After the arm makes the capture it's about 3 hours until it is fully docked to the station.
