SpaceX will launch a private robotic cargo craft toward the International Space Station (ISS) this morning (Aug. 3), and you can watch it live.
A Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled to launch Northrop Grumman's Cygnus freighter from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida today at 11:29 a.m. EDT (1529 GMT). It's unclear if Mother Nature will cooperate, however; the latest forecast pegged the odds of weather good enough to launch at 50%.
You can watch the action live here at Space.com, courtesy of NASA. Coverage will begin at 11:10 a.m. EDT (1510 GMT).

Today's launch will kick off the NG-21 mission, so named because it will be the 21st Cygnus cargo flight to the ISS.
The Cygnus vehicle that's flying on NG-21 is called the S.S. Richard "Dick" Scobee, after the NASA astronaut who commanded the ill-fated STS-51-L mission of the space shuttle Challenger. Scobee and his six crewmates died when Challenger exploded shortly after liftoff on Jan. 28, 1986.
