Nautilus (Verne) sea monster not yet known to science. To submerge deeply in a short time, "Nautilus" uses a technique called "hydroplaning", in which the vessel dives down at a steep angle. "Nautilus" supports a crew that gathers and farms food from the sea. "Nautilus" includes a galley for preparing these foods, which includes a machine that makes drinking water from seawater through distillation. "Nautilus" is not able to refresh its air supply, so Captain Nemo designed it to do this by surfacing and exchanging stale air for fresh, much like a whale. "Nautilus" is capable of extended voyages without refuelling or
Jules Verne ATV final docking procedure was guided by the videometer, which fired laser pulses at cube-shaped reflectors on the "Zvezda" module, and the telegoniometer, which functioned like a radar system. The ISS crew could have aborted the docking at any point up until the ATV was one metre from the station (this was known as the CHOP or Crew Hands-Off Point); however, this did not prove necessary. "Jules Verne" successfully docked with the ISS on 3 April 2008 at 14:45 UTC. During Demo-Day 1, the ATV's first rendezvous with the ISS was conducted. The manoeuvre culminated in a successful rendezvous with the
