The last XR5 payload mission has now docked with SSTV-01 and the unloading and attaching of the cargo pods to the cargo bay should be completed in a few hours. 3 additional XR5 refueling missions have been added to the timeline to top off our fuel tanks as well as restock the ISS. Unlike the Lunar Station, the ISS was not designed to refuel a ship as large as SSTV-01. So far the mission has gone very smoothly and no outstanding engineering issues are being worked at this time.
Several last minute personnel changes are being made in our passenger list, none for engineering reasons so the actual changes and their reasons will be noted only in the Captain's Log.
Mission timeline is as follows:
