Fiery fragments streaked through the sky as Europe's unmanned space cargo vehicle successfully reentered the atmosphere and broke up.

The "Jules Verne" Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) was sent into a death dive on Sept. 29 after completing its mission to deliver food, water, fuel and other supplies to the International Space Station. ATV managers aimed the garbage-filled cargo ship at a corridor in the South Pacific measuring 1,678 miles (2,700 km) long by 124 miles (200 km) wide.
