The TrendPulseInternational Space Station is due for a restock - and the delivery will be a little more exciting than your average grocery order.
On Tuesday, SpaceX will launch a rocket from Florida as part of Northrop Grumman's 20th NASA Commercial Resupply Services mission. The rocket, which will travel to the International Space Station, is set to arrive at its destination later in the week, delivering thousands of pounds of supplies.
NASA is set to offer live coverage of the launch and mission, complete with live streams available for free on several different platforms. Here's how to watch the launch from the comfort of your own home.
Northrop Grumman Cargo Space Station Mission
Space discoveries:A new satellite could help scientists unravel some of Earth's mysteries. Here's how.
NASA, Northrop Grumman and SpaceX are working in tandem on the mission, which will deliver 8,200 pounds of cargo including science investigations, supplies, and equipment to the International Space Station.
This delivery carries equipment to enable ongoing research, such as technology for the first surgical robot on the space station, a 3D cartilage cell culture that maintains healthy cartilage in a lower gravity and a metal 3D printer that will test the capability for printing small metal parts.
The Cygnus cargo spacecraft will be carried on SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket and is set to arrive at the space station on Thursday, Feb 1 after launching Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on Tuesday, Jan. 30.
The Cygnus spacecraft, called the S.S. Patricia “Patty” Hilliard Robertson after the former NASA astronaut, is scheduled to remain at the space station until May, after which it will depart and harmlessly burn up in Earth's atmosphere.
Watch live
NASA's live launch coverage will begin at 11:50 a.m. EST on Tuesday, Jan. 30. The involved parties are aiming for the actual launch to occur no earlier than 12:07 p.m. EST depending on launch readiness, which could change.
