ATV-1 (Jules Verne)

 2008-008A


Launch by Ariane 5ES, a version with the Vulcain 2 based EPC and uprated EAP combined with the Ariane 5G's P2000 EPS, uprated for a second short burn but with a short fuel load of only 5200 kg (formerly known as EPS-V, Versatile EPS). The ATV itself uses R4D engines, already ISS-qualified.

Launch mass 19400 kg. Ariane launch mass 775t. EPS is 1300 kg dry 7500 kg full not including VEB (usually 1370 kg full 1300 kg dry) and 345 kg, 3.94m dia SDM (Separation and Distancing Module) adapter.

Later flights will have a 20750 kg mass and will be delivered to 300 x 300 km. Jules Vernes is spacecraft M8002MS to the TDRS nework.

Propulsion module is EADS-ST/Bremen; Avionics module is EADS-Astrium/Toulouse; cargo module is Thales Alenia/Torino. Overall management is EADS-ST/Les Mureaux. Integration was in Bremen. ATV-CC at CNES Toulouse.

The Automated Transfer Vehicle will fly on a single-stage Ariane 5E. Lead design is Aerospatiale/Les Mureaux (Ae Matra Lanceurs) with DASA/Bremen (Astrium Space Infrastructure) for production. Now EADS LV/ATV Les Mureaux; Arianespace/Evry. Mangement by ESA/MSM. Shell by Alenia Spazio/Torino.

The ATV will fly every 1.5 yr for supply and reboost.

Size is 10.3m long 4.5m dia.Span 22m. Four R-4D-11 490N main engines and 28 (span 18.5 in another source)

On deorbit, ATV can carry 6500 kg of garbage to reentry over the Pacific.

At Feb 2008:

ATV dry w SDM   10470 kg  
ATV dry no SDM  10075 kg  
ATV prop  6475 kg  
ATV wet no SDM  16550 kg  
JV dry cargo 1300 kg 
JV Water/O2  302 kg 
JV ISS prop  860 kg 
JV total cargo  2462 
ATV w/cargo   19012 kg  
SDM  345   
Reserve?  50  
ATV w/cargo and SDM   19407  

Size 9.79m long 4.48m dia 22.3m span.

Propulsion module by Astrium SI/Bremen includes MON (mixed oxides of Nitrogen)/MMH with 4 x 490N Marquardt R4D engines and RCS with 20 x 220N. Astrium/Lampoldshausen 220N thrusters. Spacecraft structure by Oerlikon Cotraves, integrated cargo carrier by Alenia Spazio.

The Automated Transfer Vehicle is built by DASA/Astrium in production. The first ATV, the Jules Verne ATV, is built at EADS-LV/Les Mureaux. It has 5 R-4D engines.

During phasing, ATV will demo attitude control, GPS navigation, orbit control, and a collision avoidance manuever (CAM).

The EPS deorbit burn occured at 06:28:31 UTC and lasted 16 seconds. It was followed 8 seconds later by a propellant dump. It was then in a direct reentry trajectory that was followed by the Awarua tracking station. Contatc was lost at an altitude of 120 km. The crash into the ocean came a few minutes later.

At undocking in Sep, ATV arried 900 kg dry waste and 254 kg liquid waste.
