It'll be SpaceX's first launch in Florida since the September explosion of a Falcon 9 rocket at the nearby SpaceX Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station that damaged the company's pad.

The company launched a rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, in January with success.

At the time, SpaceX officials said they took corrective action on all possible causes of the September explosion.

It's standing on launch pad 39A, with a Dragon supply ship on top.

Astronauts lifted off from pad 39A six times from 1969 to 1972 on their way to the moon. The pad hasn't been used since the retirement of the space shuttle program.
