“Lifting off from the European Space Agencies\’ Kourou French Guiana, launch facility, the next space resupply vehicle Albert Einstein, or better known as ATV-4, heads for a rendezvous with the International Space Station. The Automated Transfer Vehicle fitted atop the Ariane 5 ES rocket weighed in at over forty four thousand pounds, making it the heaviest payload ever launched from the ESA. Within its hold is a very diverse cargo of over 1,400 different items ranging from food, spare parts,crew supplies and scientific experiments.”
