NASA\u2019s SpaceX Crew-9 two-man crew is ready for their mission to the International Space Station.<\/p>\n

NASA and mission partners held a prelaunch news conference on Sept. 27 and the 1:17 p.m. EDT Saturday, Sept. 28, liftoff remains on schedule from Space Launch Complex-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.<\/p>\n

Launch weather officers with Cape Canaveral Space Force Station\u2019s 45th Weather Squadron predict a 55% of favorable weather conditions for the launch. The cumulus cloud rule, flight through precipitation, and surface electric fields rule are the primary weather concerns.<\/p>\n

SpaceX\u2019s Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket are back on the pad and cargo loading will soon begin. Both rolled back to the hangar on Wednesday to protect from Hurricane Helene.<\/p>\n

Crew-9 will be the first human spaceflight mission to launch from the pad, carrying NASA astronaut Nick Hague<\/a>, commander, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov, mission specialist, to the orbiting laboratory for a five-month science mission.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe moved to a different pad, Space Launch Complex-40, and it\u2019s great to have that flexibility to be able to use Launch Pad 39A or Space Launch Complex-40 for launches,\u201d said Ken Bowersox, associate administrator, NASA\u2019s Space Operations Mission Directorate. \u201cI\u2019m so proud of the commercial crew team, the International Space Station team, and our partners at SpaceX and the work they\u2019ve done to prepare for launch.\u201d<\/p>\n
