Unfortunately it has been confirmed that the Progress cargo craft has been lost. :(

Third stage engine failure or early separation?

Will this have any impact on the crew soyuz launches to the ISS? Is the launch vehicle more or less the same as progress?

When does MS04 go up? I thought April but google says March.

Two simultaneous views of Japan's H-IIB rocket launch yesterday. The main view is from cameras at the Tanegashima Space Center. The smaller view is from external cameras on the ISS as it orbited over Japan:

“Kounotori”, the H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV-6) bolted into place on the Earth-facing port of the station’s Harmony module:


The spacecraft is loaded with more than four tons of supplies and experiments for the space station crew.
