ATV-3 spacecraft is deorbited into Pacific.
On October 03, 2012 the European ATV-3 unmanned supply spacecraft was successfully de-orbited and sunk in the Pacific. The Automated Transfer Vehicle, nicknamed Edoardo Amaldi after a pioneering Italian physicist, plunged into the atmosphere after two rocket burns slowed the craft's velocity enough to fall from orbit.
Debris from the ATV-3 fell into a predefined zone in the Pacific Ocean between New Zealand and Chile at about 01:30 UTC.

European ATV-3 Spacecraft undocked from Space Station.
On September 28, 2012 at 21:44 UTC (September 29 at 01:44 Moscow time) the ATV-3 "Edoardo Amaldi” European unmanned supply spacecraft was undocked from the Russian "Zvezda” module of the International Space Station after a previously unsuccessful attempt earlier in the week.
The ATV Edoardo Amaldi remained docked to the Zvezda service module on the Russian segment of the orbital station, after an initial attempt to undock on Tuesday (25.09.2012) was called off due to a command error in the communications link between the ISS and the space freighter.
Edoardo Amaldi is expected to leave the orbit on October 3 and be sunk in the Pacific Ocean.
It was the first postponement of undocking of European and Japanese cargo spacecraft from the ISS. All previous cases of undocking were carried out in line with the scheduled t ... Read more »
