ATV-5 separation from Ariane 5
These images were taken by cameras on the Ariane 5 launcher that rocketed skywards on 29 July 2014 with Europe?s last cargo vessel to visit the International Space Station, ATV-5.
The video shows the separation of ATV Georges Lema?tres and its Ariane 5.
From then on, it was a self-sufficient spacecraft heading towards the Space Station. The video also shows Ariane?s last stage manoeuvring out of the way.
ATV-5 is carrying almost 6.6 tonnes of supplies to the International Space Station, including a record amount of dry cargo ? 2682 kg.
Taken from cameras on board, this video shows the fifth automated transfer vehicle (ATV-5) as it separates from the Ariane 5 rocket it was launched on. From this point, ATV-5 becomes a self-sufficient spacecraft, carrying almost 6.6 tonnes of supplies to the International Space Station.
