Cape Canaveral weather forecast and NASA SpaceX launch details

A bolt of lightning in proximity of Kennedy Centre led to postponement of X Falcon 9 rocket launch. According to reports,  second launch attempt is slated for Saturday at 3:22 pm EDT. However, Cape Canaveral wear could create challenges due to forecast of possible showers and storms again. Here's everything to kw about NASA X launch. 

NASA X launch was impossible because of violation of three wear rules, including natural lightening and an attached anvil, a towering thunderstorm top that can generate an electric field and lead to lightning when in contact with a rocket’s plume. Reportedly, Cape Canaveral wear was clearer after launch was prevented. But NASA X launch could t wait due to specific timing requirements, which was necessary to reach International Station. 

NASA took to social media and updated about NASA X launch on its official Twitter handle. It said, “Today's #LaunchAmerica attempt was an instantaneous launch window. Due to orbital mechanics, we need to make sure that at time we launch, we are able to reach  @_Station on time and accurately. Because of this, we could t wait for clear wear today.”

Cape Canaveral wear forecast

As per reports, American astronauts will launch into from United States soil for first time in about a decade, if Cape Canaveral wear allows. Moreover, chance of thunderstorms that could scrub planned launch of NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley to International Station has increased from 40 to 60 per cent since Tuesday. predicted showers and storms could be hit or miss. If X Falcon 9 rocket mission emerges successful, it will mark a milestone for private industry besides restoring confidence in nation’s ability to conduct crewed flight aboard American-made rockets.

rocket launch was set for 4:33 pm EDT at Kennedy Center in Cape Canaveral to send Behnken and Hurley aboard X’s Crew Dragon craft to station. As per reports, NASA has been relying on Falcon 9 rocket, which will be a major test for Commercial Crew program. It marks ncy’s contract with X and Boeing to resume crewed flight from US soil after years of taking a ride aboard Russian rockets.

decision on wear 

Recently, Bridenstine took to twitter and revealed that y have t taken any decision on wear for Saturday's test flight of Crew Dragon craft. tweet also read that y would access it in morning. Earlier, NASA said that chances of X launch on Saturday were 50 percent. However, wear forecast predicts a thunderstorm, as per reports. 

Kennedy Center wear report

According to reports, latest launch forecast was issued at 9 am EDT previous day, United States Air Force’s 45TH Wing predicted 50 percent chance of unfavourable Cape Canaveral wear conditions that would prevent X from launching Demo-2 mission on both Saturday and Sunday. forecast cites rain, anvil clouds, and cumulus clouds as primary concerns on Saturday. Moreover, forecast adds a thick cloud layer as one of possible wear violations on Sunday.

Moreover, reports suggest a slightly better forecast for Saturday. If X opts for Sunday’s launch rar than Saturday, re will be only a 40% chance of bad launch wear for day. However, if Cape Canaravel wear does t allow this weekend, X could push launch to first week of June, as per reports.
