Watch the launch of a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft delivering science investigations, supplies, and holiday food to the International Space Station. The 31st SpaceX commercial resupply mission to the orbiting lab will lift off on a Falcon 9 rocket from our Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 9:29 p.m. EST, Monday, Nov. 4 (0229 UTC, Tuesday, Nov. 5).

Dragon will carry several new experiments to the station, including the Coronal Diagnostic Experiment, to examine solar wind and how it forms. Dragon will also deliver Antarctic moss to observe the combined effects of cosmic radiation and microgravity on plants. Other investigations include a device to test cold welding of metals in microgravity, and an investigation that studies how space impacts different materials.
