Ariane 5 and Jules Verne ATV arrive at launch pad

Yesterday?s roll-out of Ariane 5 ES and Jules Verne ATV started over 3 hours late after an anomaly with the mobile air conditioning unit. Once underway, transportation of the 760-tonne launcher and Jules Verne from the Final Assembly Building at Europe?s Spaceport to the launch complex 3 (ELA 3) proceeded without a hitch.
