U.S. Air Force forecasters have predicted a 60 percent chance of favorable weather conditions for Monday's SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch.

Liftoff is scheduled for 4:33 p.m. EDT from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

If the launch does not occur, the next launch opportunity would be at approximately 4:10 p.m. Tuesday, April 14. 

The launch will be the sixth SpaceX commercial resupply mission to the ISS and the seventh trip by a Dragon spacecraft to the station.

The Dragon will bring more than 4,300 pounds of supplies and payloads to the ISS including critical materials to support science and research investigations.

The Dragon will remain at the ISS for about five weeks and then return to Earth filled with cargo including crew supplies, hardware and computer resources, science experiments and space station hardware.
