Display can be used for manual docking, however there is no plan to ever do that outside of an emergency.



Aren't they planning on doing it tomorrow morning?


They are going to have some time to use the manual controls beforehand, for testing purposes, but I believe the docking procedure itself will be done by autopilot.


They said in the press conference after launch that docking will be automatic. The purpose of this mission is to demo dragon and testing automatic docking is part of that.
