Gwynne Shotwell, the SpaceX vice president of business development, says everything is looking good for launch at 2 p.m. EST today.
The rocket's second stage liquid oxygen tank has been loaded. The first stage tank is being filled now, with 82 percent aboard.
Kerosene fueling of both stages is coming up.
The Army-run range is experiencing a problem with one of the radar sites. However, there is another site available and this won't be a constraint to launch, Shotwell said.

"T-minus 27 minutes and counting. The fluctuating wind conditions at the launch site are now above the allowable limit for liftoff, officials just announced. Earlier, the winds were reported to be 7 knots. The 24-knot constraint is in place to ensure stiff winds don't force the rocket to drift into its pad structure at launch."
