Posted June 5, 201311 yr Hello! The ATV (Automated Transfer Vehicle) is ESA’s unmannded resupply spacecraft for the ISS. The mission of this “real world X-Wing” is not only to transport cargo and propellant, but also to reboost the Space Station into a higher orbit. Currently, it’s the most powerful resupply spacecraft with a cargo capacity of more than 6.5 tonnes. The fourth ATV , named after the famous scientist Albert Einstein, will be launched today on an Ariane 5 rocket at ESA’s spaceport in Kourou.

June 6, 201311 yr Amazing, love the solar panels My first thought was: "Why's there no brick-built model only the photographs of the real thing
June 7, 201311 yr Wow, beautiful work on this supply craft - I love all the detail that you've added.
June 7, 201311 yr So realistic! I'd like to see more space type things in real life, as it is the final frontier. This MOC or replica really is amazing.
