Is there any update as to when SpaceX’s actual launch to the ISS will be? And I just wanted to be clear, Dragon will be automated / remote control for this launch and mating to the ISS correct (similar to the ESA ATV) ?

The latest date we were targeting was May 7th, but it’s now not looking like everything will be ready in time to make that date. There’s no official word yet on what the new date will be.

Regarding Dragon you are correct, it is a highly automated spacecraft, similar to the European ATV, Japanese HTV, and Russian Soyuz. Lots of good info here!
