ATV-4 loading process begins

The loading process for ATV-4 Albert Einstein begins at the Guiana Space Centre, Kourou, French Guiana. Lift-off is set for Spring 2013. During January, the big M1 cargo bags are being loaded into ATV as part of nominal cargo loading. A second opportunity for cargo loading comes towards the end of March, when ATV will already be vertical on top of the Ariane launcher.
