After thruster issues after launch on Friday, the SpaceX Dragon capsule containing cargo bound for the International Space Station had to miss this morning's planned docking with the space station.
The issues were resolved around 4:30 EST on Friday.
The Johnson Space Center just announced on twitter that the next time they will try to dock is Sunday at 6:01 a.m. EST:
