Europe’s automated ship docks to the ISS
ATV Jules Verne, the European Space Agency’s first resupply
and reboost vehicle, has successfully performed a fully automated
docking with the International Space Station (ISS). This docking marks
the beginning of Jules Verne’s main servicing mission to deliver cargo,
propellant, water, oxygen and propulsion capacity to the Station, as
well as ESA’s entry into the restricted club of the partners able to
access the orbital facility by their own means.
