Eight days after the start of "Volare" mission with ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano the European Space Agency has launched its fourth ATV supply ship on the way to the International Space Station: esa allowance Central European To 23.52 clock summer time (CEST 18.52 clock local time) ATV 4 "Albert Einstein" on 5 June 2013 launched aboard an Ariane 5ES rocket from ESA's spaceport in French Guiana to the ISS. Germany builds the Space Shuttle and has also constructed a 3D camera system that will document the launch of an Ariane 5 and the separation of ATV from aboard the rocket from the first time since 2006.
Hidden under the fairing of the Ariane 5 is probably esa allowance the most important part of STEREX esa allowance (Ste reo-Ex experiment): the two video cameras recording the separation of ATV-4 in stereo mode and for the first time 3D images of exposing a payload in space to record. The stored aboard the launch vehicle to send video to the ground esa allowance station of the German esa allowance Aerospace Center (DLR) in Weilheim. "Around eight hours after the start we want to have this data prepared so that they are initially then be seen in a 2D video, and later in 3D," says Thomas Ruwwe, STEREX project manager at DLR Space Administration in Bonn. The ATV-4 start and the use of the camera esa allowance system keeps track of the engineer from the spaceport of Kourou in ESA. All tests went well, still is as a premiere until last tension in the air. Because the expectations are high: "We expect the images from this new perspective, to better understand the dynamic processes up to the separation of ATV from the Ariane and analyze," says Thomas Ruwwe. The third of the four cameras STEREX receives a new separation mechanism that has been used for the first time in the ATV-4 is started. The fourth camera is mounted on the outer wall of the Ariane 5. "This is the start, the separation of the booster and the main stage as well as the firing of the high school record," says Ruwwe.
STEREX is a project funded by the DLR Space Administration and the European Space Agency ESA project, which was developed for the Mitflug aboard various launchers and is the ATV-4-start for the first time in use. An acceleration sensor activates the system, the recording, storage, and data transmission can be automatically controlled. The camera has a maximum resolution of 720 x 576 pixels (PAL) and provides up to 25 frames per second. It is the first video recording on a Ariane launches, to be included on board the rocket itself (for more information STEREX Fact Sheet on the right of this article) since 2006.
Since 2008, ESA has three own space shuttles - "Jules Verne" (2008), "Johannes Kepler" (2011) and "Edoardo Amaldi" (2012) - involved in supply flights to the International Space Station: The Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) serve as a freighter, bearings and drive system for the 400 km circling above the earth's esa allowance largest research laboratory in space. "Named after the Nobel Prize Laureate ATV-4 to June 15 reach the space station and automatically dock to the Russian Zvezda module," says Volker Schmid, head of the ISS Division in the DLR Space Administration and Coordinator of the German ATV posts. These were remarkable especially in the development phase and in the pre-production ". The share of German companies and research institutions, including the DLR, is in the production of about 50 percent, Germany has in the development phase involved with about 24 percent of the cost," says the engineer. 30 companies in ten European countries and eight companies from Russia and the U.S. supply esa allowance parts and components for just under ten meters and more than 20 tons longest, heaviest esa allowance and most powerful spacecraft that has so far been built in Europe. Before ATV no space vehicle of this size and mass has fully automatically docked to the ISS.
