Apr\u00e8s avoir pass\u00e9 cinq mois amarr\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019ISS, il a effectu\u00e9 sa rentr\u00e9e atmosph\u00e9rique et s\u2019est consum\u00e9 au-dessus d\u2019une zone inhabit\u00e9e du Pacifique Sud le 2 novembre dernier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Les ravitailleurs ATV sont les v\u00e9hicules spatiaux les plus complexes que l\u2019Europe ait jamais con\u00e7us. Ce sont aussi les plus gros \u00e0 s\u2019amarrer \u00e0 la Station spatiale internationale et ceux qui offrent la plus grande capacit\u00e9 de fret.<\/p>\n<p>L'Albert Einstein a livr\u00e9 \u00e0 la Station un chargement crucial pour la maintenir en fonctionnement. Il a aussi permis aux six astronautes qui travaillent \u00e0 bord de cet avant-poste orbital de r\u00e9aliser des exp\u00e9riences hors du commun.<\/p>\n<p>Pendant sa mission sur l\u2019ISS, l\u2019ATV-4 a rehauss\u00e9 son orbite \u00e0 six reprises pour contrer les effets de la tra\u00een\u00e9e atmosph\u00e9rique r\u00e9siduelle. Sans ces man\u0153uvres orbitales confi\u00e9es \u00e0 l\u2019ATV et aux vaisseaux Progress russes, plus petits, la Station finirait par retomber sur Terre !<\/p>\n<p>Avant le d\u00e9part de l\u2019ATV, les astronautes ont rempli son module pressuris\u00e9 de d\u00e9chets, lib\u00e9rant ainsi un peu d\u2019espace \u00e0 bord de la Station. L\u2019ATV-4 s\u2019est d\u00e9samarr\u00e9 le 28 octobre \u00e0 9h55 (heure de Paris) et s\u2019est plac\u00e9 automatiquement sur une trajectoire de rentr\u00e9e s\u00fbre, \u00e0 une centaine de kilom\u00e8tres en dessous de l\u2019ISS. Il s\u2019est ensuite consum\u00e9 sans danger dans la haute atmosph\u00e8re le 2 novembre \u00e0 12h04.<\/p>\n<p>Georges Lema\u00eetre, le prochain ATV, est d\u00e9j\u00e0 arriv\u00e9 par bateau au port spatial de l\u2019Europe en Guyane fran\u00e7aise. Le chargement de son module pressuris\u00e9 commencera en mars prochain. Les modules de l\u2019ATV-5 seront ensuite assembl\u00e9s et int\u00e9gr\u00e9s \u00e0 Ariane en vue d\u2019un lancement \u00e0 la fin du mois de juin 2014.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 2 November, ESA\u2019s ATV-4 Albert Einstein completed its five-month mission to the ISS by reentering the atmosphere and burning up safely over an uninhabited area of the southern Pacific [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"esa_banner_image":"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/var\/esa\/storage\/images\/esa_multimedia\/images\/2013\/11\/atv-4_over_earth2\/17891687-2-eng-GB\/ATV-4_over_Earth.jpg","esa_banner_description":"ATV-4 over Earth","esa_banner_credit":"ESA\/NASA","esa_banner_licence":"ESA Standard Licence","esa_banner_detail_url":"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Images\/2013\/11\/ATV-4_over_Earth2","esa_external_url":"","esa_external_new_window":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":true},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"panel":[],"language":[],"age":[],"duration":[],"resource_type":[],"audience":[],"wf_post_folders":[],"class_list":["post-630","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kids.esa.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kids.esa.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kids.esa.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kids.esa.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kids.esa.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=630"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kids.esa.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1773,"href":"https:\/\/kids.esa.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630\/revisions\/1773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kids.esa.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=630"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kids.esa.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=630"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kids.esa.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=630"},{"taxonomy":"panel","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kids.esa.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/panel?post=630"},{"taxonomy":"language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kids.esa.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/language?post=630"},{"taxonomy":"age","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kids.esa.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/age?post=630"},{"taxonomy":"duration","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kids.esa.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/duration?post=630"},{"taxonomy":"resource_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kids.esa.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/resource_type?post=630"},{"taxonomy":"audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kids.esa.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/audience?post=630"},{"taxonomy":"wf_post_folders","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kids.esa.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wf_post_folders?post=630"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
