Initially scheduled to liftoff Thursday morning at 6:11 a.m. ET from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, agency leaders confirmed Wednesday that the event is now targeted for 5:49 a.m. ET on Friday. The delay, NASA explained in a release, is due to unfavorable weather conditions that were forecast along the flight path for Thursday. The spacecraft is anticipated to dock at the space station at around 5:10 a.m. ET on Saturday. At a Tuesday prelaunch news conference, U.S. Space Force's 45th Weather Squadron Launch Weather Officer Brian Cizek said that downrange weather and winds were the agency's biggest concern.
