The compatibility of the European Space Agency's final flight software version for its first Automatic Transfer Vehicle, Jules Verne, has been successfully tested with the Internatonal Space Station's software, with which it will dock. The testing was conducted for 12-days over three weeks by some 43 engineers from Astrium, Boeing, EADS, Energia, ESA and NASA at the NASA Software Verification Facility's software development and integration laboratory in Houston, Texas.
