Japanese cargo ship blasts off on flight to space station www.cbsnews.com

A Mitsubishi Heavy Industries H-2B rocket roars away from the Tanegashima Space Center, boosting an HTV cargo ship into orbit.
The spacecraft is loaded with 4 tons of supplies and equipment bound for the International Space Station, including a set of replacement batteries for the lab's solar power system.
It was the eighth launch of an HTV "Kounotori" cargo ship supplied by JAXA and the first since September 2018.
A Progress cargo ship and two other Soyuz vehicles are already docked at the station.
The station's solar array truss features eight huge solar wings, four on each end arranged in pairs.
