INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION

Orbital ATK's Cygnus spacecraft successfully launched from Florida Sunday.

Sunday afternoon's launch marks the first shipment to the International Space Station from the United States in months.

Friday's launch will be the first for Orbital ATK since a 2014 launch failure.

The Cygnus spacecraft has been named the "S.S. Deke Slayton II" for the mission.

A little over a year later, Orbital ATK gets ready to deliver cargo to the International Space Station.

"Public diplomacy and cooperation in space go together like peanut butter and jelly," NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said.

The first crew docked on Nov. 2, 2000.

NASA astronaut Scott Kelly has spent more than 200 days in space.

The trip also marks the handover of the station's command to NASA astronaut Scott Kelly, who, along with Mikhail Kornienko, will spend an entire year on the station.

American astronauts drink recycled urine while aboard the International Space Station, but the Russian crews, who also inhabit the station, do not.

The footage was captured from the International Space Station on Kelly's 141st day of what will be a record-breaking year-long mission.

You won't need a rocket for this ride.

"Tomorrow we'll eat the anticipated veggie harvest," International Space Station crew member Scott Kelly tweeted, in anticipation of the feast.

Scientists expect the “Veggie” technology to be a key source of food for crew members during long-haul space missions.

NASA said that, due to limited funding, it had been forced to extend its contract with Russia to take U.S. astronauts to the International Space Station.

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden accused Congress of failing to fund its commercial crew program, which would have made the space agency self-reliant.

Astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti, the first Italian woman to go into space, took the photos that comprise the tour.

In an attempt to understand the mechanism behind muscle buildup and damage, the scientists are planning to send microscopic worms to the International Space Station.

The three astronauts will remain aboard the International Space Station until late December.

The docking of NASA's Apollo capsule and the Soviet Union's Soyuz spacecraft marked a historic detente between the two adversaries.

The successful resupply mission capped a string of recent failures, which have raised questions about NASA's relationships with commercial spaceflight companies.
