This launch comes after NASA and SpaceX launched a resupply mission Thursday from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

The mission, known as Commercial Resupply Services-30 or CRS-30, sent a SpaceX Dragon capsule to the space station, delivering 6,000 pounds of new science investigations, food, supplies and equipment.
