Launch managers have declared an Atlas V rocket "go" to blast off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at 5:32 p.m.
Watch it live here -- just click on the NASA TV image above or on the right side of the page to launch a viewer.
You'll see some neat pictures provided by three cameras mounted on the rocket - two on the common core booster and one on the Centaur upper stage.
The rocket is carrying two NASA satellites headed for the moon.
They are the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and Lunar Crater Observation Sensing Satellite.
The spacecraft have been switched to internal power and are ready to launch, according to managers.
