The heaviest-ever cargo-carrier of Europe to the International Space
Station burned up in the Earth’s Atmosphere in the controlled manoeuvre
after a five month mission on 2 November 2013. When the cargo was burnt,
it carried about six tonnes of garbage and waste produced on the board
of the ISS. The Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) was burnt over the
uninhabited zone of the southern Pacific Ocean.
The ATV-4 set the record for the heaviest Ariane 5 launch and its mission started on 5 June 2013 from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana. The record cargo of 2480 kg included more than 1400 individual items.
Albert Einstein performed a series of delicate manoeuvres to reenter below the Station in order for the astronauts to observe the spacecraft’s fragmentation in the upper atmosphere, providing unique information on reentry physics.
Automated Transfer Vehicles (ATVs)
Automated Transfer Vehicles (ATVs) are the most complex space vehicles ever developed in Europe and are the largest and most capable resupply ships to dock with the Space Station.
European Space Agency (ESA)
The European Space Agency (ESA) is Europe’s gateway to space and its mission is to shape the development the space capability of Europe ensuring that the investments done in the space can deliver benefits to the people of Europe and the world.
ESA is an international organisation with 20 Member States. By coordinating the financial and intellectual resources of its members, it can undertake programmes and activities far beyond the scope of any single European country.
