Polaris Dawn mission set to launch early Friday morning after delays
ORLANDO, Fla. - The Polaris Dawn mission is scheduled to launch on Friday after weather delayed last week's initial attempt. All SpaceX Falcon 9 rockets were subsequently grounded following a booster fire during a landing.
Polaris Dawn is a private mission that includes civilian spacewalks. The launch window opens at 3:33 a.m. on Friday.
Officials say the crew will spend up to five days in orbit, working towards the following objectives: high altitude, a visit to a commercial spacewalk, in-space communications, and health impact research.
Is that a Spacex or are they still grounded.
Not grounded any more. FAA lifted the ban on the Falcon 9 within 2 days.
Ah ok. Glad you follow this stuff.
Are you a space cadet?
