Photos: Cygnus cargo ship’s departure from International Space Station

A Russian Progress supply ship loaded with more than 3 tons of supplies and equipment bound for the International Space Station apparently spun out of control shortly after reaching orbit Tuesday, putting the resupply mission in jeopardy while flight controllers scrambled to come up with a fix.

A Russian automated cargo craft loaded with nearly three tons of fuel, supplies, water and air is set for launch from Kazakhstan at 2141 GMT Saturday on a mission to replenish stockpiles aboard the International Space Station.

Watch the first spacecraft in a new generation of Russian Progress cargo vehicles arrive at the International Space Station on December 23, 2015, bringing a holiday delivery of more than 5,000 pounds of fuel, water and supplies for the research lab’s six-person crew.
