The pressurized section, manufactured by Thales Alenia Space, was based on the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM), built in Italy and previously used as a Space Shuttle transportation module.\r\n\r\nThe essential task of this big automatic shuttle was supplying, theoretically without being monitored by the ground station, the space station with water, air, food, fuel, replacement parts and scientific equipment. Another task was bringing the ISS back to the right orbit, as the station loses altitude due to the friction with the terrestrial atmosphere; finally, after being filled with the waste produced and accumulated on the station, it was left to burn above the Pacific Ocean during the return to atmosphere. \u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nIn the framework of the ATV programme, 5 vehicles were launched: each of them was named after a different European person who stood out in the field of science. The ATV programme ended on February 15th<\/sup>, 2015, with the destructive return to atmosphere of the fifth and last scheduled ATV-005 mission.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nList of ATV missions\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
