Weapons platforms & resupply

First, how do you launch weapons platforms?

You do not launch weapons platforms. You build them on a planet and when that planet is attacked the weapons are fired. You can also load them on a transport and carry them to another colony for deployment.

Second, how do you resupply ships that run out of supplies?

You can resupply by sending it back to a colony with a resupply facility on it, you can build a supply ship (many supply containers and/or solar collectors) and send the supply ship to the out-of-supply ship and fleet them together for one turn (they will share their supplies), or you can just continue on with only 1 movement point.

Edit - Alneyan beat me to the punch.
Please also see the Newbie thread here which can answer these and many other questions you may have.
