Kounotori-5 is launched from Tanegashima Space Center. It carries 4.5 tons of cargo including food, water and personal belongings for astronauts. Along with devices for research and an electron telescope . Japanese Space Agency JAXA said they also brought biscuits to ISS and in the future it could be whiskey.
