ATV-4 Release in 3D
  • 9 years ago
ATV-4 release sequence in 3D taken from ESA's ATV-4 launch recorded with the Sterex experiment.

These images provide a stunning view of Europe's cargo vessel ATV separating from its Ariane 5 launcher and being released into free flight.

The video system was developed by Kayser-Threde GmbH for ESA and DLR and integrated on Ariane by Astrium GmbH.
Usage for ATV-4 was financed by DLR and ESA and supported by Arianespace and CNES.
