SpaceX is now aiming for Tuesday, September 10, at 3:38 a.m. ET to launch the Polaris Dawn mission.
The launch has been delayed several times due to unfavorable weather at splashdown sites for Dragon’s return to Earth. These conditions, along with the liftoff weather, which is currently 40% favorable, continue to be closely monitored.
Reporting for @SuperclusterHQ
L-1 — Polaris Dawn could lift off overnight tonight, Sep. 10; opportunities at 0338, 0523, 0709 ET.
Teams are closely watching weather. Think clear skies, low winds, and calm seas… let’s get it! 💪🚀🐉

We’ve received another incredible photo from the camera onboard our Mission 1 lander!
Seen here is the lunar Earthrise during solar eclipse, captured by the lander-mounted camera at an altitude of about 100 km from the lunar surface. (1/2)
