Orbital Sciences is all set to send an Antares on a resupply mission to the International Space Station. The rocket was transferred to Virginia launch pad for the second time in three weeks to prepare for launch this week. It happened on Sunday when the one-mile trip from the Antares assembly hangar occurred.

The roll out was delayed from Saturday night to Sunday afternoon because of the glitch in a hydraulic system on the rocket's mobile transporter.

The mission was rescheduled from December to January by NASA. According to Orbital Sciences officials, liftoff will take place no earlier than Wednesday at 1:32 p.m. EST. It will blast odd from launch pad 0B at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.

One-day delay in the launch was announced by the company on Friday. The delay occurred because of cold temperatures forecast at the launch site on Tuesday. The temperature is likely to struggle go above 20 degrees Fahrenheit which is the Antares rocket's weather constraint.

It is expected that the high temperature will be 30 degrees Fahrenheit on Wednesday, said National Weather Service.

If launch is successful on Wednesday or Thursday then the Cygnus spacecraft will be arriving at the ISS on January 12.
