Live Streaming: SpaceX Resupply of ISS

Watch below for live streaming coverage of the first commercial resupply of the International Space Station (ISS).

Live Stream: SpaceX Dragon Spacecraft Launch to International Space Station

SpaceX Falcon 9 launch was successful! See this SpaceRef article for further details!

Edit: Countdown reached 0, but the mission was aborted! A high chamber pressure reading was detected on Engine Number 5 of the first stage. Sometimes when a Falcon 9 experiences this it is a simple fix, but because the clock was at one second before discovery the rocket will have to go through the startup sequence again and all systems need to be rechecked prior.

New Launch Date and Time: 3:44:34 a.m. EDT, Tuesday 22 May 2012.

Watch live coverage of the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft on its way to the International Space Station. The Dragon capsule will launch aboard a Falcon 9 rocket at 0455 EST on May 19 2012. The video will play automatically at least one hour before the new launch. This video is hosted by SpaceFlightNow.

Should this mission succeed (and we hope it does!) it will be the first time a commercial spacecraft has docked with the ISS. This unprecedented mission will bring the United States one step closer to eliminating reliance on Russia for launch vehicles to the ISS.

Live Stream of Launch to the ISS

Watch the first manned launch to the International Space Station (ISS) since the failed Soyuz launch in August. This video is a live feed from SpaceFlightNow! The launch begins at 11:14PM EST.

The feed should begin automatically. (EDIT: I disabled automatic playing since the launch ended - It was a complete success!)

Two cosmonauts, Anton Shkaplerov and Anatoly Ivanishin, as well as one astronaut, Daniel Burbank will be ascending to the ISS in what is the first manned launch since the last Shuttle (Atlantis) docked on July 10 2011.

Vladimir Popovkin, the director of Roscosmos, the Russian Federal Space Agency is confident that the launch and docking will be carried out successfully. He was quoted as saying, "We have no doubt in our minds both the rocket and the vehicle are ready, all the activities have been done at the appropriate level of quality and reliability." Regardless, you can be sure that the world will watch with admiration as these three brave men ascend to the ISS.

If you view this after the launch the feed will just go to live NASA TV, if anything. I will make sure it doesn't start automatically following the Soyuz docking with the ISS.
