According to meteorologists with Cape Canaveral Space Force Station’s 45th Weather Squadron, there is a 60% chance of favorable weather conditions for liftoff. However, primary weather concerns include flight through participation, the cumulus cloud rule, and liftoff winds.

The mission will use a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and a Dragon spacecraft. Originally scheduled for Saturday, the launch was delayed to Sunday to allow more time for vehicle preparations and for weather conditions to improve. Unfortunately, the Sunday launch was postponed to Monday due to high winds in the recovery area.

But don’t worry, the wait will be worth it! The Dragon spacecraft will deliver food, supplies, equipment, and new science experiments to the International Space Station. Plus, it will bring a pair of new solar panels for the ISS.

• The new International Space Station Roll Out Solar Arrays will allow for a 30% increase in production of power compared to the current solar panels on the space station.

Are you excited for this resupply mission? Stay tuned for updates and get ready to witness another incredible feat of human ingenuity and exploration!
