    I think the Rendezvous checklist has a page or 2 with the procedures following MC-4: RPM, TORVA, etc. Not having anyone else to help, I find it easier to bypass the UNIV PTR display and put the DAP in B, LVLH, VERN, and translation PULSE, and that keeps the attitude in relation to the ISS (which...

    The N in GNC is not on the horizon: not simple and needs IMU and other stuff. For the G and C, the orbit part of it should be done for v2.0 to use the RCS properly. Plus, with the reorganization of the data flow, the ADI will at least do more than now, but probably it will do everything. For the...
