(CNN) -- Space Shuttle Discovery is gearing up for a Friday launch after bad weather, gas leaks and electrical glitches forced repeated delays.
Shuttle managers were fueling the shuttle's external tank in preparation for a 3:04 p.m. ET launch, NASA said early Friday.
They'll load the tank with more than 500,000 gallons of liquid forms of oxygen and hydrogen.
There's a 70 percent chance of favorable weather for the launch, NASA said.
On Thursday, bad weather forced Discovery to delay its liftoff to the international space station by at least a day.
It was the latest in a series of delays for the 39th and final voyage for Discovery, the agency's oldest shuttle.
