This morning Julius and I got an email from one of the organizers for Cubes in Space explaining why the flight was postponed, and I thought everyone here would find it interesting.
I am so very sorry to inform you that the launch has been scrubbed due to weather. NASA felt the conditions tomorrow would not allow for a safe launch and recovery. It is my understanding that this is primarily due to the high probability of lighting and difficult sea state.
Obviously this is beyond our control but we have always had contingency plans for something like this. NASA will have another weather briefing today from 1 to 2 PM to decide if all looks good for Friday. If it’s good, we will attempt to launch Friday at same time (6 AM). If it is bad, we will have to think what to do next.
Cheers,
Debbie
Julius and I have our fingers crossed that the weather will be good enough for launch tomorrow, but since the rocket will land in the ocean, safety comes first.
Thank you for reading!
