Bloggers swamped with technical problems
We've been badly hit with some technical problems here at ATV-CC so apologies, we were off air for a while there. Things seem to be returning to normal now though. We've been collecting info ever since and so now we will get you up to speed on the last half-hour or so of activity. The big news of course that you will by now (hopefully) know is that Jules Verne ATV docked with the Russian Zvezda module at 16:45 CEST - Docking was complete 7 minutes later when the hooks were closed.

Note also that we've added the video interviews with Jean-Francois Clervoy with the time stamps back-dated.. -- Daniel
