Dispatches To Space
collectSPACE.com
The European Space Agency (ESA) launched its third Automated Transfer Vehicle to the International Space Station, lofting more supplies and equipment than any other unmanned supply spacecraft in history. Among the food, clothing, crew care packages, and science experiments were also two dispatches written by early space visionaries. Physicist Edoardo Amaldi, who was also honored as the ATV's namesake, is represented on board by a letter he wrote in 1958.
