Launch weather officers with Cape Canaveral Space Force Station’s 45th Weather Squadron predict 50% favorable weather conditions for the launch of NASA’s PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem) mission aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
A very windy day is in store today as the low pressure system that impacted Central Florida the last couple of days pushes eastward. Winds will begin to decrease in the overnight hours. The main concern will be liftoff winds, with a smaller chance of a Cumulus Cloud Rule violation, according to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station’s 45th Weather Squadron.
Liftoff continues to be targeted for 1:33 a.m. EST Wednesday, Feb. 7, from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Space in Florida.
