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 3, English, - automatic%20transfer%20vehicle

L’ATV [...] est le prolongement de l’étage supérieur d’une Ariane 5. Il se présente donc sous la forme d’un cylindre de 5,45 mètres de diamètre sur 1,5 mètre de longueur. Il est équipé en standard d’un module de propulsion composé de huit petits moteurs à réaction et d’un module d’avionique qui intègre les réservoirs d’ergols, les circuits électroniques ainsi que les systèmes de régularisation thermique, de production d’énergie et de télécommunications. [...] L’ATV, équipé de ses moteurs et d’une capacité d’ergols accrue, sera aussi utilisé pour effectuer les modifications d’orbite de la station [...] c’est-à-dire les rehaussements d’orbite destinés à en compenser l’usure. 8, record 3, French, - v%C3%A9hicule%20de%20transfert%20automatique

[Le] premier cargo automatique vers la Station spatiale internationale [...] s’appellera «Jules Verne» et décollera à bord d’une Ariane 5 en 2004. Le cargo automatique(ATV) a une masse de 20 tonnes. Il aura trois fonctions principales : cargo, propulseur d’appoint, élimination des déchets. L'ATV amènera 7, 5 tonnes de nourriture, d’eau, de gaz, de carburant. Il sera arrimé à l'ISS durant six mois [et] servira de poubelle. Puis l'ATV rentrera brutalement dans l'atmosphère pour brûler dans les hautes couches de l'atmosphère, au-dessus de l'océan Pacifique. [...] L'ATV pourrait servir de barge de sauvetage pour l'équipage de l'ISS.
