Today’s ATV reboost complete. ESA’s Daniel Firre at ATV-CC confirms: 770 kg fuel used & 5.75 m/s speed boost. Cool!
… and a bit later, from Daniel: Final consumption estimation is actually a bit more than what I said earlier : 796.2 kg
Complete!

This IS very cool. Is there still another reboost burn to go? The June 11 entry indicated a pair of reboosts each on June 12 and June 15. This entry looks like there was only a single reboost burn. When all the reboosts are done, how much propellant will have been used and how much total time will the engines have been fired since June 11?
Hi Andy,
The originally planned bi-boosts on 12 & 15 June were replanned into three boost days: 12 (biboost), 15 (single boost) and 17 (single boost) June. We’ll update the blog shortly with as much info as we have on the duratiion, fuel consumption and delta-v. Cheers!
