SpaceX on Saturday launched its 26th commercial resupply mission to the International Space Station.

The Falcon 9 rocket blasted off from Cape Canaveral in Florida and was delivering more than 7,700 pounds of supplies, science experiments, and equipment.

It was also carrying a pair of solar arrays that will increase power for space station research and operations.

Tomato seeds, that could help create sustainable sources of food in space, were also onboard.

The spacecraft will spend about a month attached to the space station before returning to Earth with research and cargo.
