Forecast Remains 60 Percent ‘Go’

2015-3353Forecasters from the Air Force’s 45th Weather Squadron continue to call for a 60 percent chance of favorable weather for liftoff of Orbital ATK CRS-4 on Thursday evening. Launch of the United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket and Orbital ATK Cygnus spacecraft – seen here during processing – is targeted for 5:55 p.m. EST from Space Launch Complex 41 in Florida. If the launch does not occur on Dec. 3, the next launch opportunity would be at 5:33 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 4.

At 9 a.m. today, officials will hold a Launch Readiness Review at CCAFS and, pending no issues, formalize the launch date.

Launch coverage on NASA Television and on this NASA Blog will begin at 4:30 p.m. A Thursday liftoff will result in the Cygnus spacecraft arriving at the space station on Sunday, Dec. 6. NASA crew members Kjell Lindgren and Scott Kelly will use the station’s Canadarm2 robotic arm to reach out and capture Cygnus at about 5:30 a.m. Photo credit: NASA/Dmitri Gerondidakis
