Ariane rocket heads for International Space Station
KOUROU, French Guiana (Reuters) -- An unmanned Ariane rocket blasted-off from French Guiana early on Sunday in Europe's first mission to carry supplies to the International Space Station (ISS), space officials said.
The modified Ariane-5 launcher lifted-off at 1:03 a.m. (11:03 p.m. EST Saturday) from Europe's spaceport in Kourou on the northeast coast of South America with a 20 metric tonne cargo module on the top of the rocket.
