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. 2, record 1, English, - dry%20cargo

Numerous proximity operations near the ISS [International Space Station] have been and will be performed. Orbiters will continuously carry astronauts and modules required for the assembly, and the Crew Return Vehicle(CRV) is planned for emergency evacuation. The Automatic Transfer Vehicle(ATV) of the European Space Agency(ESA) will perform regular reboosting and refueling of the ISS. Other vehicles such as Progress, Soyuz and H-II Transfer Vehicle will fly for crew transport, logistics, and resupply. Relative positioning rather than absolute positioning is the major concern for these operations. Better relative accuracy will provide fewer correction burns, thus saving consumables and other operational resources. 3, record 3, English, - proximity%20operation

Le rôle de véhicule de transfert et de retour d'équipage sera tenu dans un premier temps par un vaisseau Soyouz russe. Cependant, un engin spécifique est en cours de développement, basé sur le X-38 expérimental de la NASA. Ce X-38 dont le premier modèle de vol devrait être testé depuis une navette spatiale en 2001, est capable d'abriter jusqu'à six personnes, alors que le Soyouz ne peut en recevoir que trois. Spécialement adapté à une évacuation d'urgence, il peut fonctionner de façon entièrement automatique, tant en ce qui concerne le désamarrage, que la rentrée dans l'atmosphère et même l'atterrissage sur un site spécifiquement désigné. 3, record 4, French, - v%C3%A9hicule%20de%20transfert
