On 29th of September, 2008, the European spacecraft ATV-JV (Automated Transfer Vehicle Jules Verne) successfully completed its mission with a safe destructive re-entry into the South Pacific Ocean Uninhabited Area (SPOUA). Since the ATV-JV was the first ATV mission, the main events of re-entry have been observed by two aircrafts (equipped internally with a large number of optical devices) and from International Space Station (ISS): assessment of the break-up altitudes and identification of explosion events are the main objectives.
