ATV-CC building corridor

At 4 hours before launch  (19:52 CEST) the ATV ground segment did thorough checks of the systems to prepare for launch tonight. Everything is operating smoothly and ATV-CC’s status report is: GO.

In the Fermat building at French space agency CNES that houses ATV Control Centre the corridors are calm, flight controllers are resting before the launch tonight and the next six months of day and night mission operations.  

Another ATV-CC status report will be given at t-30 minutes.
