ATV: a very special delivery
 
 
Early in 2008, an Ariane 5 rocket blasted off from Europe’s spaceport in French Guiana. The rocket carried the most sophisticated lorry ever built – the European Space Agency’s Automated Transfer Vehicle, the ATV.
 
The video provides information about the highly technological features of the ATV and its importance as a supply lorry for the International Space Station.
