Jules Verne in Orbit
The Jules Verne, an Automated Transfer Vehicle, approaches the International Space Station for a docking rehearsal. Named for the science fiction writer, this European Space Agency craft demonstrates autonomous navigation. It uses a laser-guided system to find its way to the orbiting station. The bright edge of Earth fades into the background as the craft moves through space.
