Any chance for some informal live coverage from ESOC via internet, e.g. via Ustream or Livestream (ESA already has a channel there)?
In any case, thanks for the great updates.

Hi Alexandru: Thanks for your note. We are now checking to see if any sort of live coverage is possible. If so, we'll definitely announce it here in the blog.
