A couple of nice pictures to end the week! Congratulations to Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield on completing (and acing!) his ATV training.
And of course, keen ATV blog readers (That would be all of them – Ed.) will know exactly how the range ruler shown in the second image below is used — it provides a manual, visual check of ATV approach when held up against the video screen in the Russian module. To see in detail what Chris went through this week, access our video report: How astronauts train for ATV.
