10:58CET in Toulouse (ATV-CC) – from Charlotte Beskow

ATV EST team has arrived; our final meeting with the Vehicle Engineering Team (VET – from CNES) starts in 2 minutes. The atmosphere is nice!

Our ESA EST will take the rest of the day to check consoles, check that we have the procedures ready, check the final manning and mentally prepare. The countdown starts tomorrow evening!

It feels a bit like school before a major end-of-the-year exam… 🙂
