What was the first European Automated Transfer Vehicle sent to the ISS?

The first European Automated Transfer Vehicle sent to the ISS was the Jules Verne ATV.

Named after the 19th-century French science-fiction author, Jules Verne was designated ATV-1 and represented the European Space Agency’s first operational spacecraft in its Automated Transfer Vehicle series. It launched from Kourou, French Guiana, on March 9, 2008, aboard an Ariane 5ES rocket.

Because it was a pioneering mission, the spacecraft spent several weeks undergoing orbital tests before its final approach. Jules Verne successfully docked with the ISS on April 3, 2008, delivering propellant, water, air, and dry cargo. Its engines also helped raise the station’s orbit during its stay.

The other options were later ATV spacecraft: Johannes Kepler was ATV-2, Edoardo Amaldi was ATV-3, and Albert Einstein was ATV-4. After more than five months attached to the station, Jules Verne undocked and was deliberately destroyed during controlled re-entry on September 29, 2008.
