As short while ago I participated in a communication loop with ESA's Franco Bonacina, Head of the Media Relations Office and DG Spokesman, who arrived in Kourou yesterday. He reported that there are no problems on the technical side with Jules Verne ATV or with the launcher. He also said the weather forecast remains the same - showers, but no concerns for launch.
