A Falcon 9 rocket with a Cygnus supply freighter blasted off on a mission to the International Space Station on August 4, just a few days after a two-week break due to launch problems.<\/p>\n
The freighter took off from Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex in Florida and was broadcast online by NASA.<\/p>\n
The flight is carrying instruments and cargo for water recovery and stem cell research in zero gravity experiments at the ISS.<\/p>\n
It is expected to take around 40 hours for the Cygnus freighter to dock with the orbiting space station.<\/p>\n
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had suspended launches of private space company SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rockets for around two weeks from July 11 due to problems with the ignition of a second propulsion stage.<\/p>\n
Sunday’s launch was the 21st supply flight of a Cygnus freighter to the ISS.<\/p>\n
The freighter is manufactured by Northrop Grumman, which is also a private company.<\/p>\n
