Company officials said that SpaceX is targeting 8:04 p.m. for the launch, though a backup opportunity will be available on Saturday starting at 7:59 p.m. if needed.
This is expected to be the fourth flight for the first-stage booster being used in this launch, which was previously used to launch Crew-9 and two Starlink missions.
The 45th Weather Squadron forecasts a 20% chance of weather interfering with Friday’s launch attempt, though that risk rises to 40% if pushed to Saturday.
Regardless, News 6 will stream the launch live at the top of this story when it happens.
