Sterex images of ATV-4 launch: ATV-4 Release sequence

ATV-4 release sequence taken from ESA's ATV-4 launch recorded with the Sterex experiment.

These images provide a stunning view of Europe's cargo vessel ATV separating from its Ariane 5 launcher and being released into free flight.
The video system was developed by Kayser-Threde GmbH for ESA and DLR and integrated on Ariane by Astrium GmbH. Usage for ATV-4 was financed by DLR and ESA and supported by Arianespace and CNES.
