Abstract:

Early in 2008, an Ariane 5 rocket blasted off from Europe’s spaceport in French Guiana. The rocked carried the most sophisticated lorry ever built – the European Space Agency’s Automated Transfer Vehicle, the ATV. From its first flight, ATV will play a vital role in International Space Station (ISS) servicing. Every 12 months or so, the ATV will haul 7.5 tonnes of cargo to the ISS, 400 km above the Earth. The video - addressed mostly to the youngsters- tells the story of a very special delivery and provides information about the ATV, its highly technological features and its importance for the ISS. For further information and exercises please visit our Education ESA website http://www.esa.int/esaHS/education.htmlhttp://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Space_In_Bytes/index.html
