Watch as Cygnus spacecraft arrives at ISS with more than 3,700kg of supplies

Watch 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.

Live coverage of the spacecraft’s rendezvous with the space station began at 9:30am BST and Cygnus was scheduled for capture by the Canadarm2 robotic arm at 10:55am.

The craft will remain at the space station until October before it departs and disposes of several thousand pounds of trash through its destructive re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere, according to Nasa.
