The 45th Weather Squadron at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station forecasts a 55% probability of favorable weather for NASA’s SpaceX Crew-13 mission scheduled to launch on Thursday, October 1 at 11:10 a.m. EDT. A high pressure ridge over the Mid‑Atlantic region is guiding warm, moist air into Florida, leading to scattered showers and mid-level clouds that might affect the launch, yet their exact timing and positioning remain unclear.
The Dragon spacecraft, carrying NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins as commander, Luke Delaney as pilot, along with mission specialists from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) Joshua Kutryk and Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Teteryatnikov, is set to embark on its journey to the International Space Station aboard the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
