Freight Emergency

Yes, that’s right. Some things we really cannot recover, with all the will and resources in the world, we cannot help Jules Verne!

Europe’s “Jules Verne” space freighter has destroyed itself in a controlled burn-up over the southern Pacific.

The 13.5-tonne cargo ship had completed a six-month mission to the space station and was packed with the orbiting platform’s rubbish.

Two engine firings were required to slow the freighter sufficiently to pull it into the atmosphere.

The European and US space agencies had chase planes in the air to try to capture the fireball on video.

Astronauts on the space station reported seeing the light from the falling freighter.

On a serious note, Freight Recovery and Load Rescue services only apply in the Mainland UK. We can make introductions for services in Ireland, but are not responsible for anything that may happen when using our recommendations.
