SpaceX plans to try again Tuesday to launch another batch of supplies to the International Space Station.
Today’s planned 4:33 p.m. launch of a Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon capsule scrubbed with a few minutes left in the countdown when thunderstorms and lightning moved too close to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
The weather outlook is slightly worse Tuesday, with a 50-50 chance of acceptable conditions at the planned liftoff time of 4:10 p.m.
The Dragon spacecraft is packed with more than 4,300 pounds of food, supplies and science experiments. Twenty mice and an Italian espresso machine are among the payloads.
