NASA - ESA - JAXA "The most International missionof the International Space Station"
As the Crew of Endeavour safely docked, only a bit behind schedule, early today, word arrived from ESA that a fault in the ATV locking out control of 7 of 28 Reaction Control System thrusters and one main engine had been repaired. In a "holding pattern," ATV is prepared now, with "all systems go" to dock at ISS soon after Endeavour completes its stay, part of the longest planned mission of the Shuttle's nearly twenty-seven year history, with five planned space walks and a longer mission made possible by power shared between the Endeavour and ISS.
