A SpaceX Cargo Dragon spacecraft will return to Earth today (Jan. 12) to return science experiments and other gear to Earth in its first-ever Florida splashdown.
Update:
The first undocking, orbital reentry, and splashdown of SpaceX’s upgraded Dragon 2 cargo spacecraft was aborted by NASA ground controllers minutes before the process was scheduled to begin.
According to NASA, weather in the preferred recovery zone – off the coast of Daytona Beach, Florida – was to blame.
“As a result of adverse weather conditions at the targeted splashdown zone off the coast of Daytona Beach, Florida, SpaceX has waved off today’s planned departure of an upgraded SpaceX Dragon resupply spacecraft. Teams are currently assessing weather conditions to determine the next opportunity for undocking.”
DELAYED. No undocking for Dragon CRS-21 today due to splashdown weather! The call came two minutes before undocking commands. pic.twitter.com/KECawx747C Chris B – NSF (@NASASpaceflight) January 11, 2021
