DeutschJules Verne passes launch review
We received word from Kourou earlier this evening that Jules Verne ATV has successfully passed today's Launch Readiness Review.
ISS partners from NASA and Russia also participated in the review which brings ESA's first International Space Station resupply spaceship a step closer to launch this Sunday.
Due to the mystical wonders of orbital dynamics, the launch time has been slightly adjusted to 05:03 CET (04:03 UT) which is 4 minutes later than the original advertised time.
Read the full article on the ESA Portal.
Another big milestone lies ahead on Thursday - the Ariane 5 Launch Readiness Review. This review certifies that the launcher meets all the Ariane 5 technical requirements and is ready for flight.

ATV is an unprecedented chance for Europe to demonstrate its abilities to achieve such a human and technical challenge. All those who have been working for that project, or who are simply interested in the Space conquest, follow this event with emotion and enthusiasm.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share these unequaled moments !
