A spacecraft carrying food, fuel, and supplies is launching to the International Space Station. Watch along with us.

The unpiloted Progress 96 resupply spacecraft is scheduled to lift off at 12:15 p.m. EDT (1615 UTC) on Wednesday, Sept. 9, on a Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. After liftoff, Progress 96 will travel to the station, a trip that is scheduled to take two days. Once there, it will dock autonomously to the orbiting laboratory. 

For more than 25 years, people have lived and worked continuously aboard the International Space Station, advancing scientific knowledge and making research breakthroughs that aren’t possible on Earth. 

The space station helps NASA understand and overcome the challenges of human spaceflight, expand commercial opportunities ...

Tranche 1 Transport Layer A is one of six missions by the United States Space Force Space Development Agency (SDA) for the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) Tranche 1 Transport Layer constellation, which will provide assured, resilient, low-latency military data and connectivity worldwide to the full range of warfighter platforms from Low Earth Orbit satellites.

The constellation will be interconnected with Optical Inter-Satellite Links (OISLs) which have significantly increased performance over existing radio frequency crosslinks. It is expected to operate over Ka band, have stereo coverage and be dynamically networked for simpler hand-offs, greater bandwidth and fault tolerance.

This launch carries 21 satellites manufactured by Northrop Grumman.
