Further to yesterday’s update, Mission Director Marcus de Deus Silva has just confirmed the completion of ATV-4’s refuelling operations:
As planned, the ATV-4 refuelling system second vacuuming operations have just been completed successfully. During this operation, the pipes connecting ATV-4 to the ISS (for oxidiser transfer) were vented to the vacuum of space thus releasing the small amount of oxidiser liquid that remained after yesterday’s purging operation. This operation, run jointly by ATV-CC in Toulouse and MCC-M in Moscow, marks the end of refuelling for the ATV-4 mission.
