Final onboard training for ATV

ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst and Russian cosmonaut Alexander Skvortsov  participate in the last ever onboard training for the docking of the  Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV).

Launched from Europe's Spaceport in  French Guiana on 30 July, ATV-5 is set to automatically dock with the International Space Station on 12 August under the guidance of the two Alexanders.

ATV-5 is the fifth and final ATV spacecraft and delivers  over seven tonnes of cargo to the ISS.
