Crew 2 Launch Delayed Until Friday

Last updated on September 1, 2021

This morning we are learning that the Crew 2 launch originally scheduled for liftoff on Thursday at 6:11 AM EDT has slipped its window until Friday. During this morning’s weather brief, it was unanimously decided that the weather up the eastern seaboard was not favorable for launch. The reason they have to look at the weather up the eastern seaboard is in case of an inflight abort. Want to know more about the launch timeline read the article below.
