Simulation week at ATV-CC

It’s a demanding week at ATV-CC in Toulouse as the joint ESA/CNES mission control team work their way through a series of intensive ‘real-life’ contingency scenarios designed to practice everyone in what to do if anything goes awry during the actual mission. And as ESA’s Adam Williams points out in our video report (recorded yesterday during the docking simulation), the training is also designed to get the team to work, well, as a team – “where they can deal with anything thrown at them.”
