#ATV3 debrief w/@astro_andre at the European Astronaut Centre – Great Atmosphere! via @lionelferra
Lionel, one of the expert trainers at EAC, adds:
The debrief included questions about training, ATV rendezvous and attached (i.e. docked) operations and more. One interesting item reported by André was that, following reboosts performed by the ATV Orbital Correction System (OCS – the thrusters), a ‘halo’ of exhaust visibly follows the ISS long after boost end.
ESA astronaut Léopold Eyharts also took part in the debrief, asking at one point if André made daily use of ATV. Answer? “Actually not, but still very often.”
