SpaceX will try again Saturday to launch a Falcon 9 rocket.

The launch is targeted for 4:47 a.m. from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

The Dragon capsule aboard the rocket is carrying more than 5,000 pounds of supplies and experiments for the International Space Station to replace ones lost in an October Antares explosion in Virginia.

A technical issue forced officials to scrub Tuesday's attempt. The countdown was halted with just one minute remaining due to an issue with the secondary rocket system.

This is the sixth trip by a Dragon spacecraft to the ISS.

NASA says the Dragon spacecraft will remain attached to the space station's Harmony module for more than four weeks and then splash down in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of Baja California, bringing with it almost two tons of experiment samples and equipment from the station.

SpaceX is also trying to make history during this mission. The company trying to land its Falcon 9 rocket on a barge off the coast of Jacksonville.

The barge is now stationed in its designated spot. It arrived Monday afternoon. The goal is to cut down costs by reusing these boosters, which historically would land and sink in the ocean.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has said he gives a 50-50 shot at landing the booster this first time.

The first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket is expected to land on the barge within 10 minutes of liftoff. The second stage will continue to propel the Dragon capsule to orbit.
