Astronauts to travel to the International Space Station in Elon Musk’s SpaceX ‘Dragon’ capsule. Follow live coverage
It’s T-40 minutes as I type, and the four crew members are on board. They are launching out of launchpad 39A, the weather report has been updated to an 80% chance of good weather, and the launch director is awaiting the results of the “Go/no-go poll” or a launch status check.
Propellent loading will occur at T-35 minutes.
The tunnel that the crew used to climb on board the Dragon has been retracted, in what the voiceover on Nasa’s live feed of the launch called, “One of the last visual milestones we have until launch”.
