Le v\u00e9hicule spatial a ensuite d\u00e9ploy\u00e9 ses quatre panneaux solaires et son m\u00e2t d\u2019antenne. Avec pas moins de 20 190 kg sur la balance, c\u2019est le ravitailleur le plus lourd jamais lanc\u00e9 par une fus\u00e9e Ariane.<\/p>\n<p>L\u2019ATV-4 va livrer \u00e0 l\u2019ISS une pr\u00e9cieuse cargaison : nourriture, projets scientifique, pi\u00e8ces d\u00e9tach\u00e9es et fournitures. Il embarque la plus grande charge de cargaison s\u00e8che (2 480 kg) jamais transport\u00e9e par un ATV, dont 620 kg de fret \u00ab de derni\u00e8re minute \u00bb qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 embarqu\u00e9s alors que l\u2019ATV-4 \u00e9tait d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e0 bord de la fus\u00e9e Ariane, moins de deux semaines avant son lancement. Par ailleurs, l\u2019ATV-4 transporte 2 580 kg d\u2019ergols qui garantiront le rehaussement d\u2019orbite de la Station et 860 kg d\u2019ergols suppl\u00e9mentaires destin\u00e9s \u00e0 remplir les r\u00e9servoirs du module Zvezda de l\u2019ISS. Enfin, 570 kg d\u2019eau potable et 100 kg d\u2019oxyg\u00e8ne et d\u2019air viendront remplir les r\u00e9servoirs de la Station.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-width=\"1500\" data-credit=\"ESA - D.Ducros\" data-detail-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Images\/2013\/06\/ATV_approaching_Station2\" data-licence=\"ESA Standard Licence\" data-licence-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Terms_and_conditions_of_use_of_images_and_videos_available_on_the_esa_website\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/var\/esa\/storage\/images\/esa_multimedia\/images\/2013\/06\/atv_approaching_station2\/17879773-2-eng-GB\/ATV_approaching_Station.jpg\" alt=\"ATV approaching Station\"><figcaption>Un quad s'approche de la station<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Le vol du vaisseau spatial est suivi par un centre de contr\u00f4le d\u00e9di\u00e9 situ\u00e9 \u00e0 Toulouse, en France. Son amarrage automatique \u00e0 l\u2019ISS est pr\u00e9vu le 15 juin. L'ATV-4 passera plus de quatre mois \u00e0 bord de la Station, offrant ainsi un espace de stockage suppl\u00e9mentaire et un lieu de repos au calme \u00e0 l'\u00e9quipage de l'ISS.
