SpaceX is attempting a resupply mission to the International Space Station (ISS) like several ones they have already done, but what comes after will be far from routine.

According to Space.com, the private company will put to the test possibly their most revolutionary space exploration feature. The Flacon 9 rocket will first carry the Dragon capsule to the ISS to drop off the supplies and then will fall back to Earth to try and land itself on a platform in the Atlantic Ocean.

Space.com will offer a live stream of the launch, scheduled for 6:20 a.m. EST (1120 GMT) Tuesday morning in Cape Canaveral, Fla. Starting at noon EST Monday, SpaceX will also be holding press conferences, briefs and panels throughout the day.

SpaceX has launched their self-landing rocket successfully before, but this will be the first time they attempt it on a live mission. The primary objective is to get the ISS their supplies, but what comes after will be must-watch television.

"The odds of success are not great-perhaps 50% at best. However this test represents the first in a series of similar tests that will ultimately deliver a fully reusable Falcon 9 first stage," SpaceX wrote in a recent mission update. "Returning anything from space is a challenge, but returning a Falcon 9 first stage for a precision landing presents a number of additional hurdles. At 14 stories tall and traveling upwards of 1300 m/s (nearly 1 mi/s), stabilizing the Falcon 9 first stage for reentry is like trying to balance a rubber broomstick on your hand in the middle of a wind storm.

"To help stabilize the stage and to reduce its speed, SpaceX relights the engines for a series of three burns. The first burn-the boostback burn-adjusts the impact point of the vehicle and is followed by the supersonic retro propulsion burn that, along with the drag of the atmosphere, slows the vehicle's speed from 1300 m/s to about 250 m/s. The final burn is the landing burn, during which the legs deploy and the vehicle's speed is further reduced to around 2 m/s."
