The " Jules Verne" is a complex united European effort to ferry supplies to the ISS, to be launched atop an Ariane 5 from Kourou in French Guiana.
The size of a double-decker bus, it will orbit underneath the space station guided by the permanent control center located in Toulouse.
This supply vehicle will also ferry oxygen, water, and fuel and will dock for six months, doubling as a refuse dump for the ISS crew.
We live in exciting times, indeed!
