Things to know about NASA-Space X launch
- The rocket launch is set for 4:33 p.m. Eastern time, at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida
- It will send astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley aboard SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft to the space station.
- The last time astronauts launched from Florida was on NASA's final space shuttle flight in July 2011. Hurley was the pilot of that mission.
-
The space mission is being called Demo-2 and it will be launched from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The humidity and storms have the chance of delaying the launch by 40%. However, the official weather squad is expected to share another weather update by today so as to ensure the possibility of launching the space mission today.
-
The spaceship actually has just a second or so to lift off and get on to its right path. So in case if there is any delay in the Wednesday launch, SpaceX and NASA would again try the launch on Saturday at 3:33 pm EDT or 3 pm EDT on Sunday when the weather conditions are also expected to be calm.
