Orbital ATK’s Cygnus cargo freighter loaded with over 5,000 pounds of crew provisions, equipment and science gear arrived at the International Space Station.

This video replay shows the Falcon 9 rocket’s flight from liftoff until deployment of the Dragon supply ship, including the dramatic touchdown on a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean.
