Update from Jean-Michel Bois at ATV-CC.

Following the computations made by the CNES Flight Dynamics team, the two final boosts before the fly-under were executed as planned this afternoon – the first boost at 14:16 (2.63 m/s change in speed) using the main OCS (Orbit control system) thrusters and the second boost at 14:58 (for a 2.54 m/s change in speed) using the attitude control (ACS) thrusters.

Next step : ATV passing under the ISS roughly between 21:00 and 23:00 UTC (23:00-01:00 CEST).
