    As the link Kevin provided showed, the ATV performed a maneuver to take
    it below the ISS, which means it has already phased in front of ISS.
    
    Had a great pass of the two vehicles here in Toulouse about an hour ago.

    Hi there
    
    Got it on camera too. :) The ATV must be the faint sat? Then it's
    actually a bit ahead of ISS, and not behind it.
