"Due to poor weather in the recovery area for today's attempt, now targeting Sunday, December 6 at 11:17 a.m. EST [16:17 GMT] for launch of CRS-21," SpaceX said on Twitter.

The freighter spaceship is expected to deliver materials for science experiments to the ISS and, after spending roughly a month docked to the Harmony module, return to Earth with the experiments' findings.

Dragon 2 will also carry a commercially-funded airlock module, Nanoracks Bishop Airlock, that will be installed at the ISS.
