About an hour after launch, SpaceX will likely hold a press conference. WMUR will stream it live above this article on WMUR.com and on the WMUR mobile app.

This new launch date follows several delays over the past two weeks – one due to a helium leak and others due to adverse weather conditions.

Granite Stater Scott Poteet is the mission pilot.
