NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov are ready for launch Saturday from Florida’s Space Coast aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, heading for a five-month expedition on the International Space Station.
The two-man crew is set for liftoff on top of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket at 1:17 pm EDT (17:17 UTC). The weather forecast is a little iffy, with a 55 percent chance of favorable conditions for liftoff from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. You can watch the launch on NASA’s YouTube livestream, embedded here.
