After a nine-month hiatus because of a rocket failure, the Space Exploration Technologies Corporation, or SpaceX, is to resume cargo deliveries for NASA on Friday.

The latest haul of freight aboard one of the company’s Falcon 9 rockets includes an inflatable module that is to be added to the International Space Station, a test of technology that could provide ample living space for astronauts on future deep-space journeys.

Liftoff is scheduled for 4:43 p.m. from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. NASA Television will broadcast coverage on the web beginning at 3:30 p.m.

“It’s really important to have a very regular supply chain,” Kirk A. Shireman, NASA’s manager for the space station program, said during a news conference on Thursday.
