SpaceX is set to make its second attempt to launch astronauts to the International Space Station at 3:22 p.m. on Saturday afternoon but the weather outlook puts the chances of another delay at 50 percent
Veteran astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley are expected to lift off at 3:22 p.m. on their 19-hour journey to the space station, where they will join fellow astronaut Chris Cassidy and Russian cosmonauts Anatoly Ivanishin and Ivan Vagner.
Such delays are common, especially when astronauts are on board, and if Saturday’s launch is postponed SpaceX will be able to try again on Sunday afternoon.
