JULES VERNE

Europe's robotic cargo carrier, ATV Jules Verne, is scheduled to undock from the International Space Station on Sept. 5th. The ATV is wrapping up a successful five-month mission, delivering supplies, reboosting the ISS, and serving as an impromptu bedroom for the ISS crew. On Sept. 29th, ESA mission controllers plan to send Jules Verne into Earth's atmosphere where it will disintegrate as a fireball over the Pacific Ocean.
