Watch again: Cygnus spacecraft arrives at ISS with more than 8,200 pounds of supplies

Watch live as the Cygnus spacecraft arrives at the International Space Station on Friday 4 August.

The craft, also known as the SS Laurel Clark - named for the fallen space shuttle Columbia astronaut - will be hauling 3,700 kilograms of cargo for the ISS.

A new potable water dispenser will be delivered, providing the crew with hot water and improved sanitisation, while “high-flying art” will also be dropped off in the form of a memory card that contains creative works from students from around the world.

Equipment for ISS research projects will also be delivered by Cygnus.
