Live coverage: Japanese cargo craft departs International Space Station

A replay of the United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket launching the Orbital ATK’s commercial Cygnus cargo freighter to the International Space Station from Cape Canaveral, Florida.

A video camera aboard Russian Progress cargo ship reveals craft is spinning dramatically in orbit as it passes in range of ground station communications.
