Hi All,
This is a first docking and shows that ESA leads the world in automated docking. This expertise should prove useful for recovering satellites in space, building structures in space etc without exposing humans to risk and in preparing space bases in advance of human occupation.
NASA TV will be showing live the demonstration approach of Jules Verne to within 36ft of ISS to confirm its ability and the actual docking at the times below.
Monday 31 March 3.00pm onwards for the demonstration
Thursday 3 April 12.00pm (noon) with the actual docking programmed for 3.38pm
