The European Space Agency (ESA) has recently developed the Jules Verne Automated Transfer Vehicle, whose job is to deliver supplies to the International Space Station. The first re-supply mission just ended, and since this spacecraft is designed for single-use, it burned up upon re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. Go here for some cool looking pictures and here for a video of the re-entry, courtesy of ESA.
