The Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) is a European cargo supply vehicle to be used for the International Space Station (ISS). It will be launched by an Ariane-5 Rocket from Kourou in French Guiana. The first ATV is scheduled to be launched to the ISS in 2003. The European Space Agency (ESA) is to launch 9 Ariane-5's between 2003 and 2014 carrying ATV's. Each 20 tonne ATV will be placed in 300 km, 51.6 degrees orbit and will then manoeuvre to rendezvous and dock with the ISS. The ATV will provide unpressurized cargo, including propellant and cargo stored in its pressurized compartment including payloads and experiments. The ATV will also provide an orbital reboosting capability for the ISS and will later be filled with trash and waste which will be disposed of during a controlled, destructive re-entry. 5, record 7, English, - automatic%20transfer%20vehicle

The Italian Space Agency (ASI) - built Leonardo Multipurpose Logistics Module is the first of three such pressurized modules that will serve as the International Space Station's "moving vans", carrying laboratory racks filled with equipment, experiments and supplies to and from the station aboard the Space Shuttle. The unpiloted, reusable logistics modules function as both a cargo carrier and a space station module when they are flown. Mounted in the Space Shuttle's cargo bay for launch and landing, they are berthed to the station using the Shuttle's robotic arm after the Shuttle has docked. While berthed to the station, racks of equipment are unloaded from the module and then old racks and equipment may be reloaded to be taken back to Earth. The logistics module is then detached from the station and positioned back into the Shuttle's cargo bay for the trip home. 10, record 9, English, - Leonardo%20multipurpose%20logistic%20module

Sorte de «camion spatial» de forme cylindrique de 6,4 m de long et 4,6 m de diamètre, le module logistique polyvalent Leonardo (MPLM), de fabrication italienne, effectue là son troisième vol. Il permet d'apporter à la station orbitale les provisions nécessaires à la vie à bord, ainsi que les équipements indispensables à la réalisation des missions et des expériences scientifiques. D'un poids de 4,3 tonnes à vide, ce module pressurisé comporte 16 compartiments de stockage et emporte pour cette mission une charge utile d'environ cinq tonnes : eau, vivres, appareils divers, instruments scientifiques. En raison de sa masse importante (14 tonnes), le laboratoire américain Destiny a en effet été lancé à vide.
