Russia's Progress 60 rocket on the launchpad

The International Space Station has had a tough time getting supplies lately between two rocket explosions and an orbital failure, but it’s going to get an important lifeline in the near future… hopefully. Russia is about to launch Progress 60, a cargo ship that will ferry over 3 tons of much-needed food, fuel and other equipment to the ISS. You won’t have to wait until its expected Sunday arrival to find out how it fares, though. NASA is streaming the launch at 12:55AM ET — tune in below and you’ll have a sense of whether or not Progress 60 fares any better than its ill-fated predecessor.
