NASA’s SpaceX Crew-11 Mission Coverage Begins at 7:35 a.m. EDT!

In the distance, the Sun rises, casting an orange glow over the surrounding sky. It is also reflected in the water below it, where it looks like a column of orange light. The outlines of several structures are visible in the middle ground. At the top of the photo are white clouds that look like streaks of paint. At the bottom of the photo, those clouds are partially reflected in the water (at right) and some foliage peeks in (at left).

Good morning, and welcome to live coverage of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-11 mission!

The second launch attempt of the Crew-11 mission to the International Space Station is targeted for 11:43 a.m. EDT on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

After yesterday’s last-minute weather scrub, we’re hoping Friday’s forecast brings better fortunes. The U.S. Space Force’s 45th Weather Squadron predicts an 60% chance of favorable weather conditions at the launch pad for liftoff. The primary weather concerns for the launch area are the cumulus cloud and surface electric fields rules. Launch officials also continue to monitor conditions along the flight path of the Dragon spacecraft, which currently remain within acceptable limits.

Here at Kennedy, the SpaceX Dragon crew spacecraft carrying NASA astronauts Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke, along with JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Kimiya Yui and Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Platonov, sits atop a Falcon 9 rocket ready to launch as the 11th crew rotation flight to the space station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.

NASA’s live coverage of Crew-11 activities begins at 7:35 a.m. on NASA+, Amazon Prime, and more. Learn how to watch NASA content through a variety of platforms, including social media.
