NASA often shares plenty of good video clips of spacecraft launches but never have they shared one in 4K Ultra High Definition. Orbital ATK has prepped the Cygnus spacecraft with 7,000 pounds of supplies as it was going to take off and head to the International Space Station. Cygnus actually took off earlier this week but NASA showed up in Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, just in time with 6 UHD 4K cameras, ready to capture the launching (which happened to be successful). The exclusive footage is on NASA’s newest YouTube channel.
