ATV-5 launch in miniature

ATV-5 launch date is rapidly approaching on 25 July in most timezones but Holger Voss recently launched the Ariane 5ES launcher that will lift Georges Lemaître to the International Space Station, albeit it a 1:50 scale model. Great work Holger! The model includes the correct launcher-fairing for extra realism. In fact the video is so realistic that it immediately reminded us of the ATV-4 launch, without the French Guiana sunset of course. What do you think? Head over to Volker's blog for more information about his scale-model launches.
