[vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrhuRpzHxZo” video_title=”1″][vc_column_text]Update: Today’s launch has been called off due to lightning near the Kennedy Space Center. The next launch attempt is scheduled for 5:07 p.m. EDT Saturday.

A historic SpaceX mission is planned for today, an attempt to re-use one of the Dragon capsules for the first time.

The livestream (embedded above) is scheduled to begin 20 minutes prior to the launch window, roughly 5:35 PM EDT or 2:35 PM PDT.

The Dragon capsule was previously used in 2014 to resupply the station. It will transport about 6,000 pounds of supplies on this mission.

Additionally, SpaceX will attempt to recover the first stage of Falcon 9, returning the vehicle to a landing zone at Cape Canaveral Air Force Base.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
