“The launch director and team have made the determination to scrub today’s launch attempt,” Mike Curie, NASA launch commentator said.

Officials rescheduled the mission for Sunday at 1:52 a.m., with a forecast calling for 40 percent chance of “acceptable conditions.”

NASA is hoping to send a 3D printer to the International Space Station via the SpaceX Dragon, as well as more than 5,000 pounds of cargo.
