Watch the latest cargo mission CRS-27 launch tonight as SpaceX sends another Dragon cargo ship up to the ISS for NASA.
SpaceX and NASA are set to launch the CRS-27, the latest cargo mission destined for the International Space Station. Space watchers will be able to tune into the official launch later this evening, March 14, thanks to a NASA-powered broadcast. You can watch CRS-27 launch from a window that opens at 8:30 p.m. EDT.
The newest cargo mission will lift off from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. A launch readiness review on Monday showed that the vehicle is healthy and that all of CRS-27’s systems are ready for the launch, SpaceX Dragon mission management director Sarah Walker shared at Monday’s conference.
Mother nature has always been one of the biggest ongoing hurdles of spaceflight, and it’s no different for this particular flight. In the past, we’ve seen weather delay flights, sometimes even almost costing the flight its chance to lift off completely. So long as the weather doesn’t turn against it, you should be able to watch the CRS-27 launch later this evening.
After launching on Tuesday evening, the CRS-27 Dragon cargo ship is expected to make its way up to the International Space Station, where it will rendezvous and dock with the ISS early in the morning on Thursday, March 16. NASA and SpaceX say that the models for the weather on Tuesday are trending in the launch’s favor, so fingers crossed that everything works out and we get to watch the CRS-27 launch without issue.
