Today Sasha and I finished Part1 of ATV training.
First we got to see some In-Flight-Maintenance procedures concerning the replacement of cabin fan and smoke detectors.
Then we had a pretty long paper-based test aimed at assessing our knowledge and understanding of the malfunctions that can occur during docking and rendez-vous. When we come back for another week of ATV training in November we’ll spend most of the time in the simulator practicing our reactions to these malfunctions.
Here’s a pic with a good view of our ATV mockup at EAC. Btw, if you come and visit us on Sunday on our Open Day, you’ll also get a tour inside!
