         Bad Weather Again Postpones Resupply Mission to Space Station

   by VOA News

   Orbital ATK will try again Sunday to send a supply ship to the
   International Space Station.

   The launch of the unmanned Atlas V rocket was postponed Saturday
   because of rain and dangerous winds in Cape Canaveral, Florida. It was
   the third postponement of the liftoff since Thursday for United Launch
   Alliance, which provides spacecraft launch services to the U.S.
   government.

   Sunday's weather forecast is a bit better, but there's still only a 40
   percent chance of favorable launch conditions.

   Orbital's Cygnus spacecraft is packed with food, clothes, toiletries
   and scientific equipment. It will also take Christmas presents to the
   six-member space station crew.

   NASA is eager to get back into the business of sending supply ships to
   the station. Missions have been grounded since a rocket explosion
   destroyed a ship last year.
