    Before Crew-2's Endeavour launches, Crew-1's Resilience will be moved from the Harmony module's Forward port to the Zenith port (the port away from Earth). Endeavour will then dock at Harmony Forward, and a few days later Resilience returns home to make room at Zenith for Cargo Dragon CRS-22 in June.

    According to the wiki article, Resilience flies again on September 15 for the Inspiration 4 charity mission for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, this time with a large observation cupola attached. The views should be great.

            About 1340 Eastern NASA alerted Crew-2 of possible debris impact and had them suit up in case of a collision. It ended up being further away than previously estimated so they un-suited and went to sleep.

            Approach, docking, and a portrait of other Visiting Vehicles (Crew-1 above, Soyuz below). Had to do some color correction & processing on the docked image.
