The Automated Transfer Vehicle 3 (ATV-3), also known as "Edoardo Amaldi," was the third spacecraft in the Automated Transfer Vehicle series developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) for resupply missions to the International Space Station (ISS). Similar to its predecessors, the primary objective of ATV-3 was to deliver cargo, supplies, and experiments to the International Space Station (ISS) to support its crew and operations. ATV-3 played a crucial role in resupplying the ISS with essential resources.
