Watch second launch attempt as cumulus clouds caused a scrub of the mission yesterday.
An unfavorable weather forecast for the launch site at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida for Thursday afternoon has resulted in NASA and SpaceX postponing the launch of the Crew-11 crew.
Crew-11 will be on the station for at least six months, but NASA could stretch the mission to as long as eight months.
Teams are targeting a second attempt 11:43 a.m. EDT ( 17:43 UTC) Friday, Aug. 1.
Cardman, fellow NASA astronaut Mike Fincke, JAXA astronaut Kimiya Yui and Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Platonov will have another chance to launch on Friday at 11:43 a.m. with more opportunities on Saturday and Sunday.
The mission will relieve the Crew-10 members who have been on board the space station since mid-March, but won’t undock until they complete a short handover period during which the space station population will grow from seven to 11.
