Satellite images taken three days ago.

That is obvious, what is more interesting to me is that the most forward bow module appears to be a little bit sharper, I wonder if the bulbous hull has been attached.

Possible, but i doubt that. This is the last two clear satellite pictures from august 22 and september 28. Doesnt look they are sharper compared to them.

Probably not at time of photo taken. The distance of the 1st module is very close to the basin wall as we see from earlier photo, too close to make a clear room for mounting the bulbous hull. After the two gaps are joint by moving the pieces away from the wall, the room should be comfortable enough to mount the bulbous hull.

I see progress. Now only the front most section (the bow module) needs to be joined. The image was taken yesterday.

Another beautiful satellite photograph of the carrier's progress.

Like the previous pictures, this precise, detailed image shows the different modules coming together quite nicely.

They finally pulled the plug and radically camouflaged the entire facility.
