After launch, the following scenario will be developed: the ATV [Automated Transfer Vehicle] separates from the launcher and attains a circular orbit. After 46 hours of phasing, the rendez-vous with the ISS [International Space Station] will be prepared. Docking will take place on the side of the Russian service module. After a period of six months, the ATV will separate from the ISS and disintegrate if it reaches again the Earth's atmosphere. The operators of the ... site in Les Mureaux will organize the actual simulation of the docking procedure by running the optical rendez-vous sensor (RVS) in real time with the other sub-components within the space system.
