Automated Transfer Vehicle Re-Entry

An artist's depiction of the destructive re-entry into Earth's atmosphere of ESA's fifth and final Automated Transfer Vehicle, ATV-5, after it completes its mission to the International Space Station. The ATV-5 spacecraft bears the name of Belgian physicist Georges Lemaître, who is considered to be the father of the big-bang theory. This final flight of the ATV program will deliver joysticks for robotic video games, new clothing, a new laser imaging system for spacecraft rendezvous and aquarium fish. ATVs are expendable, pressurized, unmanned resupply vehicles developed by the European Space Agency, designed to supply the ISS with various payloads.
