JAXA Spacecraft Launch Live Stream: Watch The Cargo Ship Liftoff In Outerspace At NASA's International Space Station
NASA is preparing for lift off once again. The agency is scheduled to broadcast an unpiloted Japanese cargo spacecraft that will depart the International Space Station Friday morning. The cargo spacecraft, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's (JAXA) H-II Transport Vehicle-6, will be released by the station's robotic arm commanded by the European Space Agency's Flight Engineer Thomas Pesquet with support from NASA's Expedition 50 Commander Shane Kimbrough. You can watch the NASA Orbital ATK launch here. Transport Vehicle-6 is expected to move underneath and in front of the International Space Station and gather data for a week using a JAXA experiment which will "measure electromagnetic forces using a tether in low-Earth orbit," a NASA statement read.
