In recent weeks several space freighters, the Russian Progress and Japanese HTV, have arrived at the International Space Station. But the most important logistics spacecraft for the ISS is Europe's Automated Transfer Vehicle. The ATV-2 called Johannes Kepler is to be launched from Kourou in just over a week and will be docking at the orbital complex on February 23rd with over 7 tonnes of cargo.
@MTTT1234 Ah, that makes more sense Although, I don't believe that's put in context anywhere in the clip. To me it sounds like they were talking about now.

@Vampus in 2001 the first long-duration crew flew to the ISS, that´s why it´s an anniversary event for the ISS. The 10-year anniversary for the ISS for beeing in orbit was 2008

0:24 "2001 marks a turning point for the orbital complex and its international partners." Hmm? I think the voice over fellow got that one incorrect :-)
