If the forecasted rain showers and thunderstorms around Cape Canaveral hold off long enough to permit it (about a 60% likelihood), SpaceX will launch another Dragon capsule aboard a Falcon 9 rocket just after 4:33pm EDT today. The mission, which is the sixth commercial re-supply mission to the International Space Station, also has the potential to make history, as SpaceX will once again attempt to recover the first stage of its Falcon 9 booster on a drone-controlled barge stationed offshore in the Atlantic Ocean.
If the launch goes ahead as planned, the Falcon 9 will deploy the Dragon approximately ten minutes after liftoff, and the capsule will rendezvous with the ISS around 7am EDT on Wednesday morning.
