Hello and happy Monday from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida! After standing down yesterday due to high winds in the recovery area, NASA and SpaceX make another attempt at launching the company’s 28th cargo resupply mission for the agency today, June 5. Weather looks good, and meteorologists with Cape Canaveral Space Force Station’s 45th Weather Squadron predict a 70% chance of favorable weather conditions for liftoff, with primary concerns being the cumulus cloud rule, flight through precipitation, and liftoff winds.
SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft stand ready for liftoff at Kennedy’s Launch Complex 39A. The instantaneous launch window is at 11:47 a.m. EDT, just over two hours away. Live coverage begins at 11:15 a.m. – watch on NASA Television or the agency’s website, or get live updates here on the blog.
