The L-3 day forecast for the launch of SpaceX-3 to the International Space Station remains 70 percent “go.” The U.S. Air Force 45th Weather Squadron predicts a slight chance of violating the Thick Cloud Rule and Anvil Cloud Rule. The detailed weather forecast is below.
SpaceX-3 is the third commercial resupply mission to space station for SpaceX. During the mission, the Dragon capsule will deliver about 5,000 pounds of cargo to the orbiting laboratory and return about 3,500 pounds to Earth.
Dragon is scheduled to launch aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 at Florida’s Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at 4:58 p.m. Monday, April 14. There is an additional opportunity at 3:25 p.m. on Friday, April 18.
Space station Commander Koichi Wakata of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency is set to capture Dragon when it arrives to station April 16.
