The rocket is transporting about 3,300 pounds of supplies to the International Space Station, including space parts, crew provisions and science experiments for the Expedition 40 crew.
The rocket was originally slated to launch Saturday, but poor weather conditions pushed that back to Sunday. The weather office at Wallops said Sunday's conditions are 90 percent favorable for launch.
