| May 31, 2020 at 17:30 | comment | added | Organic Marble | @ChristopherJamesHuff The ISS had to be in free drift for docking, after that "it depends" on which took over control. But only one at a time. | |
| May 31, 2020 at 17:18 | comment | added | Christopher James Huff | @OrganicMarble IIRC, the Shuttle took over attitude control duties while it was docked, and you wouldn't want the systems fighting each other. The Dragon probably inhibited its attitude control system before it made physical contact. | |

| May 31, 2020 at 16:20 | comment | added | Christopher James Huff | It does look like an extrapolated difference in orbits over the next several Earth orbits, ignoring the mechanical connection. And not just noise: the station has active attitude control thrusters and control moment gyroscopes that were making adjustments during this process (they called out switching from thrusters to CMGs to reduce jostling while doing the hard dock). | |
