Atlas V rocket lifted off with Cygnus Cargo Spaceship to ISS



 • Who: Atlas V rocket
 • Where: From Space Launch Complex 41, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station
 • What: Lifted off with Cygnus Cargo Spaceship to International Space Station
 • When: 6 December 2015


A United Launch Alliance Atlas V (401 configuration) rocket carrying the OA-4 Cygnus cargo spacecraft with much needed supplies blasted off towards the International Space Station (ISS) on 6 December 2015.

The rocket lifted off from Space Launch Complex 41, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station after three days of delay due to poor weather.

Supplies at the station are running low due to several failed delivery runs and botched rocket launches. The capsule carries more than 3500kg of food, clothing, computer gear, spacewalk equipment, science experiments and other supplies.
