SpaceX Launch: Giving It Another Try On Saturday At 4:47 a.m. EST (WATCH THE LIVE STREAM HERE)

SpaceX will give it another try Saturday morning as weather forecasts seem favorable to a pre-dawn launch of a Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon cargo spacecraft from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, according to NASA.

The U.S. Air Force 45th Weather Squadron predicts an 80 percent chance of launch-worthy weather for SpaceX CRS-5, the company's fifth resupply mission to the International Space Station. Temperatures in the 50s are expected and the only weather-related problem could be the thick cloud cover.

Liftoff is scheduled for 4:47 a.m. EST Saturday, Jan. 10. Coverage will begin at 3:30 a.m.

The first attempt on Tuesday was scrubbed after NASA had concerns over a motor that controls the rocket's upper-stage engine nozzle, but NASA reports that the faulty part has been replaced.
