ESA's Ariane 5 with Johannes Kepler on board is enroute to the launch pad in Kourou

In Kourou, the launch preparations of Ariane 5 v200 with ATV Johannes Kepler on board are now visible.

No more simulations, testing or preparation work inside the high-rise buildings.

Today, just like always before a launch, the launch vehicle is being rolled out and transported to the launch pad.

The 200th launch of Ariane and the second launch of an ATV (Johannes Keplar), is happening now.
