Monday’s launch of a SpaceX rocket is a go despite a computer problem at the International Space Station, NASA officials said Sunday.

SpaceX is supposed to launch the unmanned Dragon capsule at 4:58 p.m. Monday from Cape Canaveral. It contains nearly 5,000 pounds of supplies and science experiments. We will hold a live chat of the rocket launch, beginning at 3 p.m. Monday.

Launch conditions are currently at 80 percent.

The mission is already a month late because of extra prep time needed by the California company and unrelated damage to an Air Force radar-tracking device needed for rocket launches.

NASA said Friday night that a backup computer on the outside of the orbiting lab is not responding to commands.
