Both NASA and the ESA will have live coverage of the event available on the Internet, so you can switch back and forth between the two feeds. NASA coverage begins at 0230 UTC and goes until 0540. ESA coverage begins at 0135 UTC and runs until 0500, but it won't be continuous, just broadcasting the major events.
