In order to proceed with complementary verifications on the Ariane 5 ES launch system, Arianespace has decided to delay the VA219 launch for a few days. This mission with ATV 5 “Georges Lemaître” had been scheduled for July 24.
A new launch date will be announced next week.

GOOD luck to Atv5 .. These pictures remind me a lot from kourou campaigns…
Régis Rault retired from astrium , mechanical system reponsible for ATV Jules verne development up to Atv4
Do you guys publish the launch date and the docking date anywhere? I’d like to try to view the ATV catching up to the ISS one last time if I can; I was able to see in the night sky in 2011!
Do you know if it’ll be on NASA’s sky tracker?
