Japan Rocket Lifts Supplies To Space Station After Foreign Failures

KAGOSHIMA, JAPAN - AUG. 19: Japan successfully launched a rocket carrying supplies to the International Space Station from the Tanegashima Space Center in Kagoshima Prefecture on Wednesday, the nation's space agency said, after similar missions by other countries failed recently. The H2B rocket lifted off at 8:50 p.m. Japan time, delivering the Konotori 5 cargo transporter into orbit some 15 minutes later, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency or JAXA said. The unmanned transporter, carrying 5.5 tons of supplies and experimental equipment, is due to reach the ISS, which flies about 400 kilometers above Earth, at around 8 p.m. Monday.
