SpaceX Crew-11 set to try again to liftoff to ISS after weather scrub - UPI.com

Aug. 1 (UPI) -- The SpaceX transport of Crew-11 to the International Space Station is ready to launch Friday after Thursday's scrub.

NASA astronauts Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Kimiya Yui, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Platonov, arrived at the launch complex, where SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft is ready for liftoff at 11:43 a.m. EDT Friday. Cardman is the commander, Fincke is the pilot, and Yui and Platonov are mission specialists.

The launch was scrubbed on Thursday just before liftoff due to inclement weather at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The mission was scheduled for 12:09 p.m. EDT from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center aboard a Falcon 9 Rocket.

It will be the first spaceflight for Cardman and Platonov, the second for Yui and the fourth for Fincke. It will be the sixth mission for Endeavour, SpaceX's most-flown Crew Dragon capsule.
