A technician works on some of the ATV's 28 mini-jets (with red covering for protection). The mini-jets are part of the spacecraft's Attitude Control System (ACS). Around the front cone of the ATV, there are 8 mini-jets, or Forward Attitude Control System (FACS). And in the back of the ATV, there are the other 20 mini-jets (also called Vernier in astronautics). These 28 200-Newton thrusters are used for the attitude of the spaceship. Some are in goups of 2 thrusters (FACS), some in groups of 5 thrusters. (Kourou, 16 August 2007).

On the 120-tonne mobile platform (to the right), a set of passive rendezvous targets (retroreflectors), identical to the ones installed on the ISS, are facing the sensors mounted on an articulated industrial robotic arm (left). The relative motion achieved between the two is identical to the one expected 2008 rendezvous between Jules Verne and ISS.
