Launch of Dragon spacecraft changed from Thursday to Friday
NASA announced Thursday that the launch of SpaceX’s Dragon rocket has been delayed until Friday due to “an unfavorable weather forecast.”
“Standing down from today’s Falcon 9 launch of Dragon due to cloud cover at the launch site,” a representative for SpaceX explained on X.
This space mission will send an international crew to the International Space Station to research how to better maintain the health of astronauts while they are in space. The astronauts selected for this mission are Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke of NASA, Kimiya Yui of Japan’s Aerospace Exploration Agency, and Oleg Platonov of Russia’s Roscosmos space program.
“Other science Crew-11 members will conduct on the space station include studying stem cell production methods to develop advanced cures, new ways to treat bacterial infections, and space agriculture techniques,” NASA says.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For NASA as it continues organizing scientific expeditions into space.
- That the Lord protects the safety of these four astronauts as they conduct scientific research.
- For the president’s administration as it mindfully partners with private companies.
