Rocket Lab opened the 10-day launching window on Friday but high winds have so far stopped the launch.
It is the second of three test flights as the company prepares to become a commercial operation.
People could watch the launch via a live stream on Rocket Lab's Facebook page or on YouTube.
Founder Peter Beck said he was optimistic about sending paying customers into space soon and said a space for a satellite on board the rocket would cost about $10 million.
