NASA and SpaceX managed to send the launch up on Friday evening.

Hundreds of spectators gathered at Space View Park in Titusville, eager to witness the launch of Crew-10. But just before liftoff, excitement turned to disappointment as the mission was scrubbed.

As the astronauts on Crew-10 prepares for their mission launch from Florida’s Space Coast, meteorologists are not only focused on the weather around the launch pad but also watching conditions hundreds of miles out in the Atlantic Ocean.

NASA and SpaceX scrubbed the Crew-10 launch from Kennedy Space Center on Wednesday evening due to a hydraulic ground issue, officials said.

Crowds are expected along Brevard County beaches as NASA and SpaceX are preparing to launch the Crew-10 mission to the International Space Station.

SpaceX is targeting a Wednesday launch for Crew-10 just after sunset. The team consists of two NASA astronauts, a JAXA astronaut and a Roscosmos cosmonaut. The crew completed a full dress rehearsal of launch day activities on Sunday.

The crew of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-10 mission was at Kennedy Space Center for a test that the space agency says is among the last needed ahead of launch, now less than three weeks away.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is indicating his private spaceflight company could work to bring NASA astronauts back home sooner than expected.
