Live coverage: Ariane 5 rocket deploys satellites for Australia, India

An Ariane 5 rocket will fire into the sky from French Guiana Thursday evening and deliver a record heavyweight payload to orbit less than an hour later.

Check out a replay of Monday evening’s launch of a Falcon 9 rocket from Kennedy Space Center in Florida in this video recorded from the Launch Complex 39 Press Site around three miles from the pad.

Soaring more than 200 miles above Earth, a Chinese spacecraft with two astronauts on-board closed in for docking with the Tiangong 2 space lab just before 1930 GMT (3:30 p.m. EDT).
