The European Space Agency (ESA) successfully launched the fifth and final Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) cargo carrier on an Ariane 5 rocket on the evening of July 29 from Kourou, French Guiana. The ATV-5, nicknamed "Georges Lemaitre," is headed toward the International Space Station, loaded with more than seven tons of food, scientific experiments and other supplies. With a total weight of almost 20.3 tons, the craft is the heaviest vehicle ever to be launched by an Ariane 5. One experiment, the ESA's "Electromagnetic Levitator," will heat metals to 2,900 degrees Fahrenheit (1,600 degrees Celsius) and then cool them down quickly. Studying these processes in microgravity may help us better understand the physics underlying atomic arrangement and rearrangement.
