ORLANDO, Fla. — The shipment’s running a little late, but SpaceX is set to send up its Dragon spacecraft on the CRS-25 resupply run to the International Space Station tonight.
A Falcon 9 rocket is slated to lift off from Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Pad 39-A at 8:44 p.m. ET with more than 5,800 pounds of cargo. The launch was delayed from June 10 after teams detected hydrazine vapor in the spacecraft, and ultimately decided to replace the vehicle’s parachutes.
The Space Launch Delta 45′s weather squadron predicts a 70% chance for favorable conditions on launch day with isolated showers the primary concern, although thunderstorms are expected to have moved inland in the evening. A 24-hour delay would see 60% chances for a good weather.
