The two test firings of the engines took place 47 minutes apart. The first was at 05 : 27 h Central European Time. While it was a test burn only, it did serve as a small rendezvous manoeuvre for the module on its way to a linkup with the ISS [International Space Station]. The result of the burn was a 1 m/s increase in speed, placing Zvezda in an orbit with a perigee of 172 km and an apogee of 339 km. The second burn occurred 47 minutes later, at 06 : 14 h CET. It too, resulted in a change of velocity of 1 m/s and raised the perigee by another 4 km, resulting in an orbit of 176 km by 339 km.

The Service Module will be the first fully Russian contribution to the International Space Station ... The 42,000-pound module, similar in layout to the core module of Russia’s Mir Space Station, will provide the early station living quarters; life support system; electrical power distribution; data processing system; flight control system; and propulsion system. It also will provide a communications system that includes remote command capabilities from ground flight controllers. The Module contains three pressurized compartments. It will have a wingspan of 97.5 feet from tip to tip of the solar arrays, and it will be 43 feet long from end to end.

Zvezda est le Module de Service de la Station spatiale internationale (ISS). Ce module de conception russe s'inspire très largement de la Station Mir. Mesurant 13.1 m de long, il est constitué de deux gros cylindres de 2.9 m et 4.2 m de diamètre. Ce sont les espaces de commande et d'habitation. Le poste de commande reçoit l'énergie des panneaux solaires qu'il supporte, pour recharger 8 batteries nickel-cadmium fournissant 28 volts sous 110 Ampère-heure. Ce courant électrique alimente l'éclairage bien sûr, mais aussi les systèmes de recyclage tels que Elektron qui produit par électrolyse de l'oxygène à partir d'eau, ainsi que les systèmes de climatisation. La partie habitation comprend une salle d'eau, un atelier avec toute une panoplie d'outils, une salle à manger et des cabines individuelles équipées d'un sac de couchage, d'une tablette et d'une chaise [...] Zvezda est un module de Service, rattaché à ISS. Il doit donc permettre le maintien de la station en orbite, par des corrections régulières d'altitude, et le contrôle du positionnement. Pour ce faire, à l'arrière du module se trouvent deux moteurs principaux de 3070N de poussée, plus 32 moteurs d'orientations répartis tout autour du cylindre. Des capteurs stellaires assurent le contrôle de l'attitude à 0°01' d'angle près. Tous ces moteurs sont alimentés par 700 kg d'ergols contenus dans 6 réservoirs.

Once it has reached the correct orientation for rendezvous with the already-orbiting International Space Station comprised of the Russian Zarya control module and the US Unity module, Zvezda becomes the passive vehicle in the final approach and docking operations. As the passive target vehicle, Zvezda will maintain a station-keeping orbit as the active Zarya control module performs the rendezvous and docking under ground control using the Russian automated rendezvous and docking system(Kurs).

Although ATV [Automated Transfer Vehicle] will dock to the Russian Zvezda module, it will carry most of its dry payload for the US elements of the ISS [International Space Station]. At the launch site in Kourou, French Guiana, six weeks before flight, Jules Verne will be loaded with 1 300 kg of dry cargo out of the 5 500 kg maximum capacity. Most of the dry cargo provided by NASA will be clothes, food, towels and wipes for the crew, logistics items such as batteries and spare parts for maintenance of the Station. This cargo will also include ESA [European Space Agency] experiments such as ANITA, which will constantly monitor the cabin air, and some Russian hardware to be added to the panels of the Station's Russian Service Module.

Usachev and Voss moved a docking cone from storage and installed it in the lower port hatch during the 19-minute procedure, which lasted half as long as expected.

R bar approach of the space shuttle towards the satellite ... along the radius vector.

OBS

For visualization purposes, the station's direction of motion is called the velocity vector, or V-bar for short. By convention, points in front of the station are said to be on the positive V-bar while points behind are considered negative. The imaginary line connecting the station with the center of the Earth is called the radius vector, or R-bar. Points directly below the station along this line are considered positive while points above are considered negative. Endeavour, then, will approach the station along the plus R-bar. The station will be oriented with its long axis aligned with the velocity vector, with the Unity module in "front" and Zvezda behind. Unity's nadir and zenith ports will be oriented as their names imply. This orientation, or attitude, is known as "XVV, "i. e., the station's X axis is aligned with the velocity vector. The terminal rendezvous sequence will begin with a rocket firing(TI) as Endeavour trails the station by about eight nautical miles. Once the shuttle reaches the plus R-bar, commander Brent Jett will guide the ship up from directly below. As he nears the station, he will yaw the shuttle 180 degrees so its tail is pointing in the direction of motion and its nose toward the minus V-bar. Assuming a good linkup, the shuttle will begin controlling the station's orientation for the duration of Endeavour's mission, moving the lab back into an "X-POP" attitude with the station's X axis perpendicular to the plane of its orbit. In this orientation, the long axis of the station is broadside to the velocity vector.

The Automated Transfer Vehicle(ATV) is one of the most important elements of Europe's contribution to the International Space Station(ISS).

According to the construction plan of the International Space Station, the Docking Compartment-1 has to be eventually replaced with a much larger Universal Docking Module, UDM. Launched by the Proton rocket, the UDM would provide life-support capabilities for as many as six crewmembers onboard the Russian segment of the ISS. Prior to UDM arrival, the Docking Compartment-1 would be discarded to free the Earth-facing "nadir" port of the Zvezda service module for the UDM. The new Docking Compartment-2, as well as Russia's future science modules, would then be able to dock to multiple ports onboard the UDM.
