But, after that, it will pick-up Dextre to have a look into Dragon's trunk to assess lighting conditions and the amount of 'elbow-room' inside the trunk. This relates to future Dragon missions when ORU's will be brought up to ISS inside Dragon's trunk. Those will then be removed by SSRMS in combination with Dextre.
Thanks. Modeling-wise, that's a bummer. That Mylar could've hidden the rod I was going to use for the solar arrays.
