Jules Verne, the first of five Automated Transfer Vehicles, stands on the brink of flight. Its inaugural mission, set for the second half of 2007, marks a new step for European space transportation and lays a cornerstone for human spaceflight. It is the most versatile spacecraft ever developed, uniquely able to self-navigate in orbit and control its own rendezvous. It is critical for resupplying the International Space Station. |
