SpaceX Crew-10 Astronauts Cleared for Launch to ISS Tonight
The highly anticipated SpaceX launch is set to take place tonight as NASA astronauts Anne McClain (commander) and Nichole Ayers (pilot), along with JAXA astronaut Takuya Onishi and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov, have received the final “go” for liftoff. This mission, dubbed Crew-10, will mark another milestone in NASA’s Commercial Crew Program as they head to the International Space Station (ISS).
Final Preparations Underway for SpaceX Crew-10 Launch
With less than an hour remaining before launch tonight, the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is being prepped at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The launch team has confirmed that controllers are ready to begin loading liquid oxygen and RP-1 (rocket-grade kerosene) into the first and second stages of the Falcon 9 launch vehicle. This crucial step ensures the rocket is fueled and ready for its journey into orbit.
Weather Conditions Favorable for Liftoff
According to NASA launch weather officers from the 45th Weather Squadron, there is a greater-than-95% chance of favorable weather conditions for tonight’s 7:48 p.m. EDT liftoff. This prediction increases confidence that the rocket launch today live countdown will proceed smoothly, barring any last-minute technical issues.
