11 April 2006
At 09:57 CEST today, ground controllers confirmed re-acquisition of the low-gain antenna signal from the Venus Express spacecraft, after 10 minutes of spacecraft occultation behind the planet.
The re-acquisition of this signal, received about six minutes before the end of the 50-minute main engine burn, confirms that Venus Express is so far moving at the expected velocity around the planet.
