The ''Georges Lemaître'' ATV, or Automated Transfer Vehicle 5 (ATV-5), was a European unmanned cargo resupply spacecraft, named after the Belgian astronomer Georges Lemaître.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://www.esa.int/esaCP/SEMMZ8ZXHYG_index_0.html )〕 The spacecraft was launched during the night of 29 July (23:44 GMT, 20:44 local time, 30 July 01:44 CEST),〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.arianespace.com/news-press-release/2014/7-22-2014-VA219-launch-date.asp )〕 2014, on a mission to supply the International Space Station (ISS) with propellant, water, air, and dry cargo. It is the fifth and final ATV to be built, following the ''Albert Einstein'', which launched on 5 June 2013. ''Georges Lemaître'' was constructed in Turin, Italy, and Bremen, Germany. Cargo loading was completed in Guiana Space Center on 23 July 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Human_Spaceflight/ATV/ATV-5_loaded_and_locked )〕 ''Georges Lemaître'' was launched on an Ariane 5ES rocket from the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou, French Guiana. The launch was conducted by Arianespace on behalf of the European Space Agency. This is the final planned launch of the Automated Transfer Vehicle. Artist Katie Paterson sent artwork to the International Space Station aboard ATV-5.〔http://blogs.esa.int/atv/2014/07/16/big-cargo-post-5-0〕〔http://blogs.artinfo.com/artintheair/2014/07/28/katie-paterson-to-launch-artwork-into-orbit/〕〔http://news.artnet.com/art-world/meteorite-sculpture-will-be-international-space-stations-first-artwork-67923〕 == Mission payload == Georges Lemaitre is ferrying 6.6 tonnes of experiments, spare parts, clothing, food, fuel, air, oxygen and water to the ISS.〔 In addition to the usual cargo ATV-5 will perform 2 experiments: LIRIS (Laser InfraRed Imaging Sensors) is a new autonomous rendezvous sensor set that will allow future ships to dock with uncooperative targets, like debris or sample capsules - Georges Lemaître will use a demonstration version of it instead of standard optical sensors bouncing light off the reflectors around ISS docking port.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ATV-5 set to test new rendezvous sensors )〕 Break-Up Camera will record ATV in infrared as it breaks up performing atmospheric reentry above Pacific Ocean. After recording is completed reinforced SatCom capsule doubling as a black box will begin transmitting data to one of the Iridium satellites through the gap in plasma behind the vehicle. Signaling will continue as SatCom goes below 40 km altitude and plasma is no longer formed to ensure all of the gathered data is transferred.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ATV’s fiery break-up to be seen from inside )〕 Haptics-1 will be the first force reflecting Joystick to be used in space. The Haptics-1 joystick communicates in real-time with a space qualified tablet PC (Dell Latitude 10) to allow astronauts to perform a range of seven physiology experiments.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Touchy-Feely joystick heading to space station )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Georges Lemaître ATV」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
