Due to high winds in the recovery area, NASA and SpaceX are now targeting Monday, June 5, for the 28th commercial resupply services mission from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Live coverage on NASA Television will begin at 11:15 a.m. EDT, with launch targeted for 11:47 a.m.

Meteorologists with Cape Canaveral Space Force Station’s 45th Weather Squadron predict a 60% chance of favorable weather conditions for liftoff. Primary weather concerns include flight through participation, the cumulus cloud rule, and liftoff winds.
