Here is an update on today’s ATV operations just delivered by Thomas Beck at ATV-CC.
Today’s reboost of the ISS by ATV-5 has been carried out successfully.
ATV’s main thrusters (M1 and M3) were ignited today at 08:37:00 GMT (10:37:00 CEST) and burned for 179 secs using 58.7 kg of propellant. The manoeuvre increased the ISS velocity by 0.43 m/sec as measured by on-board accelerometers.
Note that the precise manoeuvre accuracy determination will be carried out by MCC-M (Moscow) under whose authority ATV reboosts of the entire ISS by visiting vehicles are carried out.
