This Tuesday, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will blast off on the CRS-26 resupply mission to the International Space Station (ISS) from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. On Wednesday, the unmanned Dragon spacecraft will dock by itself at the station with a cargo of research tools and two new solar arrays. NASA will webcast the event, and we have instructions on how to watch it below, so you can see the launch and the recovery of the rocket's first stage.

As part of long-term improvements to the station's power systems, the craft will also carry a pair of new solar arrays for it, known as iROSAs. The launch was originally set for Monday, November 21, but it was moved to Tuesday because the spacecraft needed some repairs. The problem, according to a SpaceX spokesman, was "a leak that we noticed in one of our thermal control systems a few days ago," which was brought on by "a single flange that wasn't seated properly because there's a cracked rubber seal." The system's fluid was drained, the seal was changed, and then the fluid was filled. The spaceship is now prepared for takeoff.
