You’ll find a detailed timeline of today’s docking activities below; you can refer back to this while watching the webcast this evening!
A few notes on reading the timeline:
- ddd/hh:mm:ss — Day of the year/hour/minute/second – 88 is 28 March
- s — refers to length (in seconds) of the engine burn
- m/s — metres/second – refers to the target ‘change in velocity’ for each thruster/engine burn
- For a picture of where ATV is at each waystation/holdpoint, scroll down to check a profile diagram
- All times/targets show are as planned, but the actual times may vary
