If you are in Kourou, the launch preparations of Ariane 5 v200 with ATV Johannes Kepler on board are now also visible – no more mere simulations, testing or work inside the high-rise buildings.
Today, just like always before a launch, the launch vehicle is being rolled out and transported to the launch pad. For the 200th launch of Ariane and the second launch of ATV, this is happening now..!
ESA’s Charlotte Beskow, in Kourou, has sent some great photos; check back in the blog for more images later today!
