Weather again could throw a wrench in the planned launch for NASA's SpaceX mission to the International Space Station Saturday afternoon. While the forecast is not looking as poor as this past Wednesday’s forecast, which forced NASA to scrub the launch, it isn’t looking significantly better either
Weather again could throw a wrench in the planned launch for NASA's SpaceX mission to the International Space Station Saturday afternoon.
Wednesday's launch was called off less than 20 minutes before its scheduled liftoff from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida due to inclement weather. The storm will bring some rain into parts of northern California Saturday, which would be welcomed since much of the northern half of California and nearly all of Oregon are in some type of drought condition. Additionally, parts of this region also received a significant heatwave earlier this week. There could be a couple of pockets of flooding with the storm Saturday.
