The '''Automated Transfer Vehicle''', originally '''Ariane Transfer Vehicle''' or '''ATV''', was an expendable [[automated cargo spacecraft|cargo spacecraft]] developed by the [[European Space Agency]] (ESA),<ref>{{cite web|title=Automated Transfer Vehicle, ESA document EUC-ESA-FSH-003 Rev 1.2 (specification) |url=http://www.spaceflight.esa.int/users/downloads/factsheets/fs003_12_atv.pdf |publisher=[[ESA]] |access-date=26 March 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070322203029/http://www.spaceflight.esa.int/users/downloads/factsheets/fs003_12_atv.pdf |archive-date=22 March 2007 |url-status=dead }}</ref> used for space cargo transport in 2008–2015. The ATV design was launched to orbit five times, exclusively by the [[Ariane 5]] [[heavy-lift launch vehicle]]. It effectively was a larger European counterpart to the Russian [[Progress (spacecraft)|Progress cargo spacecraft]] for carrying [[upmass]] to a single destination—the [[International Space Station]] (ISS)—but with three times the capacity.
