ATV: a very special delivery

Early in 2008, an Ariane-5 rocket blasted off from Europe's spaceport in French Guiana. It carried one of the most sophisticated vehicles ever built by ESA, the Automated Transfer Vehicle, ATV Jules Verne, a vital space 'supply lorry' for the International Space Station. This is one of a series of short videos (Space-in-bytes) for secondary school students and teachers. More information at:
