Ax-1: The Crew Dragon is now inside 1 km of the ISS, heading for Waypoint 0, 400 meters directly below the lab; at that point, it will begin looping up in front of the station, proceding to a point directly above the Harmony module's IDA-3 docking port
Ax-1: Crew Dragon has passed through Waypoint 0; the vehicle is now moving up to a point directly in front of the ISS (Waypoint 1) before proceeding to a position directly above the Harmony module's space-facing IDA-3 docking port (Waypoint 2)
Ax-1: Speaking of stunning views... Crew Dragon and the moon

Ax-1: The view from inside the Crew Dragon and a view looking from the capsule toward the IDA-3 docking port atop the forward Harmony module
https://twitter.com/cbs_spacenews/status/1512758246725107713Ax-1: NASA says the Crew Dragon will remain at 20 meters while engineers try to resolve a video routing issue on the ISS; no estimate on how long the reconfig might take, but Crew Dragon has enough prop to remain at Waypoint 2 for about 2 hours; Dragon crew told to sit tight
Ax-1: Contact and capture! At 8:29am EDT (1229 UTC) while Crew Dragon and ISS were passing 258 miles above the central Atlantic Ocean
https://twitter.com/cbs_spacenews/status/1512770112285294593Ax-1: Hard capture complete; the Crew Dragon Endeavour is now firmly locked in place at Harmony's zenith port; after extensive leak checks to verify an airtight structural seal, hatches will be opened and the crew will float into the ISS
Ax-1: SpaceX mission control to Crew Dragon: "I hope you enjoyed the extra half orbit in Dragon, or at least found it memorable. Crew Dragon Endeavour and MLA, welcome back; Eytan, Larry and Mark, welcome to the International Space Station"
Ax-1: Crew Dragon to SpaceX; "We're happy to be here even though we're a bit late. Looking forward to the next chapter. Thanks for all the great work"
Ax-1: Crew Dragon hatch opening expected momentarily; standing by...
Ax-1: Crew Dragon hatch opened at 10:13am EDT (1413 UTC); the Ax-1 Endeavour crew is floating into the ISS to hugs and handshakes all 'round as the station crew greets the first NASA-sanctioned commercial visitors to the outpost
Ax-1: Israeli Eytan Stibbe is first aboard ISS, followed by Canadian Mark Pathy, Larry Connor and Michael López-Alegría
Ax-1: After a few last-minute post-docking steps, the crew has gathered for the traditional welcome aboard ceremony; NASA space ops chief Kathy Lueders starts off by telling the combined crews "nicely done"
https://twitter.com/cbs_spacenews/status/1512805372419051522Ax-1: Welcome ceremony complete; Mike LA pinned astronaut wings on Connor, Pathy and Stibbe and gave all three a chance to make a few comments; the crew thanked SpaceX, Axiom, NASA and the ISS crew and said they’re ready to get to work
