I just took part in a final communication loop with Franco Bonacina, ESA's Franco Bonacina, Head of the Media Relations Office and DG Spokesman, in Kourou. All still green for launch.
It is raining lightly at the launch site. The tanks have been filled. And the latest ATV software has been loaded. Less than one hour to go!

Here at ESTEC people are starting to arrive for the launch event. Some people to share this adventure with! :-) There are also events at other ESA establishments throughout Europe - Paris, Rome, Madrid, Bremen, Darmstadt.
