  • Jules Verne ATV Launch Approaching 11 February 2008
    Jules Verne ATV launch approaching 11 February 2008 will carry up to 9 tonnes of cargo to the station as it orbits 400 km above the Earth. Equipped with its own propulsion and navigation systems, the ATV is a multi-functional spacecraft, combining the fully automatic capabilities of an unmanned vehicle with the safety requirements of a crewed vehicle . Its mission in space will resemble that, on the ground, of a truck (the ATV) delivering goods and services to a research establishment (the space station). A new-generation high-precision navigation system will guide the ATV on a rendezvous trajectory towards the station. In early April, Jules Verne will automatically dock with the station’s Russian Preview of the maiden launch and docking of ESA's Jules Verne ATV.

  • A Launch for the International Space Station
    A launch for the International Space Station For its first mission of the year, Arianespace will launch the first Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV), dubbed “Jules Verne”, for the European Space Agency (ESA). Right from this first launch, the ATV will play a vital role in bringing supplies to the International Space Station (ISS). Weighing more than 20 tons, this will be by far the heaviest payload ever launched by Ariane 5. An Ariane 5 ES will inject the Jules Verne ATV into a circular orbit at an altitude of 260 kilometers, inclined 51.6 degre e s . With this launch, Ariane 5 further expands its array of missions, ranging fro m scientific spacecraft in special orbits to commercial launches into geostationary orbit. The ATV is designed to bring supplies to the ISS (water, air, food, propellants for the Russian section, spare parts, experimental hard w a re, etc.), and to reboost the ISS into its nominal orbit. The ISS now weighs more than 240 metric tons, including the recently attached European labora t o r y, Columbus. After being docked to the ISS for up to six months, the ATV will be loaded with waste items by the astronauts, and sent back down. After separating from the launch vehicle, the ATV will be autonomous, using its own systems for energy (batteries and four large solar panels) and guidance (GPS, star t racker), in liaison with the control center in Toulouse. During final approach, an optical navigation system will guide the ATV to its rendezvous with the Space Station, w h e re it will automatically dock several days after launch.

  • The European Columbus Space Laboratory Set to Reach ISS 3 December 2007
    The European Columbus space laboratory set to reach ISS 3 December 2007 cornerstone of Europe’s contribution to this international endeavour. Once Columbus is launched, assembled to the Space Station and verified, ESA will become an active partner in the operations and utilization of mankind’s only permanent outpost in space. As the first European laboratory devoted to long- term research in space, Columbus will further expand the science capabilities of the ISS. In its interior, the Columbus laboratory will provide accommodation for experiments in the field of multidisciplinary research into biology, physiology, material science, fluid physics, technology, life science and education. In addition, its external payload facility hosts experiments and applications The Columbus laboratory is ESA's biggest contribution in the field of space science, Earth observation and to the International Space Station (ISS). Delivered to technology. ESA by EADS SPACE Transportation on 2 May 2006, this laboratory will provide internal payload Columbus will be transported into Earth orbit in the accommodation for various scientific experiments.

  • Statement by EADS Astrium, Represented by Dr
    05 August 2009 The Review of U. S. Human Space Flight Plans Committee Statement by EADS Astrium, represented by Dr. Mark Kinnersley Director of Business Development Orbital System and Exploration Division EADS ASTRIUM Space Transportation Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee, On behalf of EADS Astrium, I would like to express our appreciation for the opportunity to contribute to the work of the Committee as it reviews the future of U.S. Human Spaceflight. EADS Astrium is encouraged by the serious interest shown by this Committee, and by the Obama Administration, in expanding U.S. - European cooperative partnerships within the field of human spaceflight. As your charter alludes, the ability to develop and sustain a robust U.S. human spaceflight program requires leveraging all available alternatives capable of providing efficiencies toward affordability, risk and schedule. We at EADS Astrium are confident that we can provide a great benefit to NASA and the U.S. taxpayer thanks to our expertise in the following three areas: • Automatic Transfer Vehicle (ATV): EADS Astrium can offer additional ATV mission services to supply the International Space Station in cooperation with U.S. industry. In particular, ATVs can be used to plug the potential logistics gap to the ISS after Shuttle retirement. • Industrialization: EADS Astrium's expertise gained over many years as the Industrial Operator for Europe's ISS activities could further enable international operational programs to achieve reliable, yet cost-efficient, industrial services. • Future Exploration Programs: EADS Astrium could provide significant key building blocks in a joint international human and robotic space exploration. EADS Astrium is a multinational company that lives and breathes international programs.

    Columbus Crater HLS2 Hangout: Exploration Zone Briefing Kennda Lynch1,2, Angela Dapremont2, Lauren Kimbrough2, Alex Sessa2, and James Wray2 1Lunar and Planetary Institute/Universities Space Research Association 2Georgia Institute of Technology Columbus Crater: An Overview • Groundwater-fed paleolake located in northwest region of Terra Sirenum • ~110 km in diameter • Diversity of Noachian & Hesperian aged deposits and outcrops • High diversity of aqueous mineral deposits • Estimated 1.5 km depth of sedimentary and/or volcanic infill • High Habitability and Biosignature Preservation Potential LZ & Field Station Latitude: 194.0194 E Longitude: 29.2058 S Altitude: +910 m SROI #1 RROI #1 LZ/HZ SROI #4 SROI #2 SROI #5 22 KM HiRISE Digital Terrain Model (DTM) • HiRISE DTMs are made from two images of the same area on the ground, taken from different look angles (known as a stereo-pair) • DTM’s are powerful research tools that allow researchers to take terrain measurements and model geological processes • For our traversability analysis of Columbus: • The HiRISE DTM was processed and completed by the University of Arizona HiRISE Operations Center. • DTM data were imported into ArcMap 10.5 software and traverses were acquired and analyzed using the 3D analyst tool. • A slope map was created in ArcMap to assess slope values along traverses as a supplement to topography observations. Slope should be ≤30°to meet human mission requirements. Conclusions Traversability • 9 out of the 17 traverses analyzed met the slope criteria for human missions. • This region of Columbus Crater is traversable and allows access to regions of astrobiological interest. It is also a possible access point to other regions of Terra Sirenum.
