Managers from NASA, SpaceX, and international partners will gather at Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 8 p.m. EST, today, Feb. 25, to determine the launch readiness for NASA’s SpaceX Crew-6 liftoff to the International Space Station. Launch is targeted for 1:45 a.m. EST Monday, Feb. 27, from Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39A in Florida.

Following the Launch Readiness Review, the prelaunch news teleconference (audio only) at Kennedy starts at 10:30 p.m. EST today with the following participants:

Weather officials with Cape Canaveral Space Force Station’s 45th Weather Squadron continue to predict a 95% chance of favorable weather conditions for launch, with the cumulus cloud rule serving as the primary weather concern.

Starting at 10:15 p.m. EST on Sunday, Feb. 26, there will be a live broadcast of the mission – including liftoff and postlaunch milestones – on NASA Television and the agency’s website.
