Developed by SpaceX, the Dragon spacecraft became the first commercial spacecraft to deliver supplies to the International Space Station in 2012. Now in 2013, it's re-supplying the station yet again.
In the image above, you can see the spacecraft weeks before its March 1 launch. After initial glitches during the launch, the spacecraft's solar arrays did eventually deploy as it travelled onward to the station.
