There May Be An Uncrewed Launch To The ISS Friday Night, From The Cape... We Shall See.


Weather has delayed this launch tonight, now for a third time.

And yes, it is a SpaceX Dragon hauling the load of resupply stuff. Here's the latest, from NASA:

. . .NASA and SpaceX now are targeting no earlier than 6:05 p.m. EDT Friday, May 15, for the launch of the company’s 34th commercial resupply services mission to the International Space Station. Watch NASA’s live launch coverage beginning at 5:45 p.m. on NASA+, Amazon Prime, and the agency’s YouTube channel.

Teams stood down from Wednesday’s launch opportunity due to inclement weather producing anvil cloud launch violations around Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The next launch opportunity allows for cargo packed inside Dragon to be refreshed and supports phasing for arrival to the space station.

The Dragon spacecraft will dock to the orbiting laboratory at approximately 7:00 a.m. Sunday, May 17. NASA’s live rendezvous and docking coverage will begin at 5:30 a.m. on NASA+, Amazon Prime, and the agency’s YouTube channel. . . .


We shall see. And (best news of all!) the extended trip to France -- and the Greek Isles -- for the month of September 2026. . . is coming together nicely, via our excellent travel agents. Grin. . . .
