Final rehearsal at ATV-CC

Earlier this week, on 2 February, mission controllers at ATV-CC conducted the final pre-launch rehearsal, involving all control centres supporting the ISS (including Mission Control Center Houston, MCC Moscow and ESA’s Columbus Control Centre near Munich); the drill covered ATV mission phases leading up to docking with the ISS. Operations representatives from NASA and the Russian space agency were present at ATV-CC. Thanks to the colleagues at CNES for some excellent photos!
