ATV hatch opening

Great news! As mentioned earlier, the astronauts will now install scrubbers to run, set for about three hours. Afterwards, they will prepare ATV for crew use: this includes removing the scrubbers, turning on lights, checking out the interior, ensuring that fire extinguishers and masks are in place, etc. The crew will also install 16 clamps to improve rigidity of the docking connection. Check back later this evening – if we get any images sent down, we’ll add them here to the blog.
