The space agency is slated to launch the Northrop Grumman Antares rocket at 9:38 p.m. from its Wallops Island Flight Facility in Virginia.
The rocket will carry crew supplies and research materials to the International Space Station.
There will be a five-minute launch window and people living on the East Coast, including Rhode Island and Connecticut, could see a bright dot zip through the sky about three minutes after launch.
NASA will also livestream the launch.
