Following the launch readiness review Friday, NASA and SpaceX teams continue to target a launch Sunday, Nov. 15 at 7:27 p.m. EST of NASA astronauts Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover, and Shannon Walker, and astronaut Soichi Noguchi of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) on the Crew-1 mission to the International Space Station. A lift off Sunday would set the Crew Dragon on track to arrive to the orbiting laboratory on Monday, Nov. 16 at 11 p.m. NASA TV will provide more than 30 hours of continuous coverage beginning at 3:15 p.m. Sunday through the hatch opening and welcoming ceremony in the early hours of Tuesday, Nov. 17. The U.S. Air Force 45th Weather Squadron predicts a 50% chance of favorable weather conditions at the launch pad for lift off of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-1 mission based on Falcon 9 Crew Dragon launch weather criteria. Teams will monitor weather conditions both for the launch area and downrange. The primary weather concerns for launch will be cumulus clouds and associated precipitation, along with electric fields from any more robust showers.FORECAST DETAILS Clouds                      Coverage           Bases (feet)             Tops (feet) Cumulus                    Broken              3,000                         14,000 Weather/Visibility: Scattered showers/7 miles Temperature:  77 degrees Follow along with launch activities and get more information about the mission at: http://www.nasa.gov/crew-1.

• SpaceX's Crew-1 mission is set to launch from the Kennedy Space Center at 7:27 p.m. ET on Sunday, rocketing four astronauts into space. • It's the first full-length mission NASA has contracted from Elon Musk's company, and NASA's first full-length commercial space mission overall. • Crew-1 will also be the longest-duration human spaceflight mission ever launched from US soil. • Here's what to expect as SpaceX's Crew Dragon spaceship flies to orbit and back.SpaceX is about to launch its most important NASA mission yet: On Sunday, Elon Musk's rocket company is slated to send four astronauts to the International Space Station on its Crew Dragon spaceship.Crew-1, as the flight is called, will be SpaceX's first full-length mission for NASA. It's also the company's second time launching people and the longest-duration human space mission ever launched from US soil. The current record, 84 days, has held since the longest Skylab mission more than 45 years ago.Once the crew members dock to the ISS, they're expected to stay aboard the floating laboratory for about half a year. "We are ready for this launch. We are ready for the six months of work that is waiting for us on board the International Space Station, and we are ready for the return," NASA astronaut Mike Hopkins, who will command the mission, told reporters during a pre-mission news conference.More at link.
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. – Launch day at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center isn’t just about the seconds before the Falcon 9 rocket blasts off but about the hours and minutes leading up to that moment as crews ready the astronauts and their Dragon spacecraft for flight.SpaceX is planning to launch three NASA astronauts and one Japanese Space Agency, of JAXA, astronaut on Nov. 15 at 7:27 p.m. from Launchpad 39A at Kennedy Space Center.Below is a timeline of what the astronauts will be doing ahead of liftoff -- and countdown milestones along the way.6:57 a.m. Rise and shine: NASA astronauts Mike Hopkins, Victor Glover, Shannon Walker and Japanese Space Agency astronaut Soichi Noguchi will get up on launch day. This happens more than 12 hours before liftoff.1:57 p.m. Five and a half hours before liftoff, a launch readiness briefing will take place.2:27 p.m. Launch crew will arrive on console and the Dragon spacecraft will be configured for launch.2:57 p.m. Dragon propellent pressurization.3:12 p.m. The astronaut crew will get a final weather briefing from mission managers and the 45th Space Wing. There are a number of reasons weather could cause the launch to scrub. Read about them all here.3:22 p.m. The four astronauts will be handed off to the SpaceX team to begin putting on their spacesuits.4:05 p.m. After completing suit checkouts, the four astronauts will walk outside the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building. This is where they will be able to say goodbye to their families.More at link.
ORLANDO, Fla. – NASA and SpaceX will once again have to thread the needle for Sunday evening’s Crew-1 astronaut launch.An approaching cold front will bring increasing clouds and the threat of scattered downpours to the Space Coast.The 45th Weather Squadron downgraded the launch probability of Sunday’s launch from 60% go to 50%. The 45th Weather Squadron is highlighting the cumulus cloud rule, flight through precipitation and surface electric field rule as the primary concerns for a weather violation Sunday evening.More at link.
Watching on the NASA channel
@mystery-akI'm watching it on the SpaceX channel.I remember on how you had to have cable just to watch launches many years ago.
I have Direct tv..it came with my package
Hoping that the skies are clear enough that we can see this from our yard.
