CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Thursday will mark take two for SpaceX’s Dragon capsule launch.
SpaceX had to scrub Wednesday’s launch because of storms in the area.
Thursday’s launch is scheduled for 6:01 p.m. ET. However, Cape Canaveral has a 70-percent chance of showers and storms during the launch window.
The U.S. Air Force's 45th Weather Squadron gives Thursday's launch a 30-percent chance of "go" conditions. The squadron lists the primary concerns as the anvil cloud rule, cumulus cloud rule and lightning rule.
Once it’s launched, the capsule will carry 5,500 pounds of supplies and experiments, as well as Nickelodeon’s famous green slime.
Nickelodeon said it's sending slime to the space station for educational purposes. The slime was famous for drenching competitors on the network’s game shows in the 1990s.
An Adidas soccer ball is also scheduled to join SpaceX's resupply mission.
