    Propellant and Liquid Oxygen Loading Begins

    The SpaceX launch director polled NASA and SpaceX managers in Hangar X at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida and gave a 'go’ for fueling for the Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft that will carry NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov for a science expedition mission aboard the International Space

    The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket fueling is underway with rocket-grade kerosene (RP-1) and first-stage liquid oxygen. About 16 minutes before liftoff, liquid oxygen fueling will begin for the second stage.    Liftoff is the next big milestone! Launch weather officers with the U.S. Space Force 45th Weather Squadron predict a 70% chance of favorable weather conditions …
