Windy Weather Delays SpaceX Crew-12 Launch to the ISS
TL;DR
Weather along the ascent corridor has postponed NASA and SpaceX’s Crew-12 launch to the ISS, with liftoff now targeted for no earlier than Feb. 12 at 5:38 a.m. EST and backups through Feb. 17 as weather models are reevaluated; a recent Falcon 9 static-fire revealed a minor valve issue that was replaced, and a dry dress rehearsal went smoothly. If Crew-12 launches on Feb. 12, ULA’s Vulcan window would be stood down. If needed, additional launch options exist through Feb. 13–17, with docking around Feb. 14 and potential longer transit times considered in scheduling.
