Launch preparations for SpaceX’s CRS-18 mission are well underway as SpaceX proceeds to count down to a 6:24 p.m. EDT liftoff, just fifteen minutes away. Fueling of the Falcon 9 rocket is underway.
Weather continues to be a cause for concern, as meteorologists with the U.S. Air Force 45th Space Wing are now predicting a 10% chance of favorable weather conditions for liftoff. NASA TV and the agency’s website continue to provide live countdown coverage.
CRS-18 will deliver about 5,000 pounds of supplies and critical materials that will directly support dozens of science and research investigations that will take place during Expedition 60 and beyond.
