Launch simulation 27 January
The ESA-CNES team at ATV-CC are in an intensive simulation today practising the ATV launch and critical LEOP (launch and early orbit phase) periods. Today’s activity involves ATV-CC only, says Mission Director Kris Capelle, as there will be additional simulations next week conducted jointly with the Ariane launch control centre at Kourou.
Note that tomorrow afternoon, starting around 16:00 CET, the flight control team here will, for the first time, receive live telemetry from ATV Johannes Kepler mounted on top of Ariane 5.
