Hello and good morning — again — from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. After a drone ship power issue caused a scrub of Friday’s planned 3:11 a.m. EDT launch, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft stand ready for a second attempt today.

Liftoff is targeted for 2:48 a.m. EDT from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, with an instantaneous launch window. Join us here on the blog and on NASA Television beginning at 2:30 a.m. for updates from the countdown.
