The U.S. Space Force’s 45th Weather Squadron predicts a 60% chance of favorable weather for Thursday’s launch of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-13 mission. The primary weather concerns are the cumulus cloud rule and flight through precipitation.

The Crew-13 mission will launch NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney, CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Joshua Kutryk, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Teteryatnikov to the International Space Station.

Liftoff is scheduled for no earlier than 11:10 a.m. EDT Thursday, Oct. 1, from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
