European Space Agency's Jules Verne Automated Transfer Vehicle
September 5, 2008 - Backdropped by the blackness of space, European Space Agency's (ESA) Jules Verne Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) begins its relative separation from the International Space Station. The ATV undocked from the aft port of the Zvezda Service Module at 4:29 (CDT) and was placed in a parking orbit for three weeks, scheduled to be deorbited on September 29 when lighting conditions are correct for an ESA imagery experiment of reentry.
