NASA has given the OK for a private company to proceed today with a test launch of a rocket that will eventually help carry cargo to the International Space Station.

Orbital Sciences Corp. plans to launch its Antares rocket from Wallops Island at 5 p.m. The largest rocket to ever to take off from the Wallops Flight Facility could be visible during the evening rush hour in Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and New York.

But NASA said Tuesday there's only a 45 percent chance weather conditions will allow the rocket to launch. Orbital will try again Thursday if the weather doesn't cooperate.
