Jules Verne ATV member of the European Space Agency was aboard the ISS while "Jules Verne" was docked. The ATV was one of the quietest places on the ISS, as it was isolated from the rest of the station. Because of this, the crew used it as sleeping quarters, and also as a place to perform personal hygiene activities. Yi So-yeon also used it as laboratory space where she performed nanotechnology experiments. On 5 September 2008, "Jules Verne" undocked and manoeuvred to an orbital position 5 km below the ISS. It remained in that orbit until the night of 29 September. At 10:00:27
