Weather officials with Cape Canaveral Space Force Station’s 45th Weather Squadron predict a 90% chance of favorable weather conditions for NASA’s SpaceX Crew-5 launch from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, with the cumulus cloud rule and flight through precipitation serving as the primary weather concerns.

Steve Stich, manager, Commercial Crew Program, Kennedy Joel Montalbano, manager, International Space Station, Johnson Emily Nelson, chief flight director, Johnson Kirt Costello, chief scientist, NASA’s International Space Station Program Benji Reed, senior director, Human Spaceflight Programs, SpaceX Junichi Sakai, manager, International Space Station, JAXA Sergei Krikalev, executive director, Human Space Flight Programs, Roscosmos Brian Cizek, launch weather officer, U.S. Space Force 45th Weather Squadron
