ESA ATV Jules Verne Re-entry

Video showing the destructive re-entry of Jules Verne ATV at the end of a successful mission to the International Space Station. The re-entry took place over an uninhabited area of the Pacific Ocean after two deorbit burns.

I have worked on construction of ATV, and are sad today, but also very proud of the work done by us here in Turin (Italy).

"money" didn't burn, it accomplished its purpose of resupplying, boosting the ISS and getting rid of its waste
