It’s always so cool to see the International Space Station fly overhead, and we’ll get another golden opportunity Thursday night, with clear skies helping the cause.

Andrew Morgan pauses for a photo opportunity during extravehicular activity (EVA) #64 at the International Space Station’s Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer worksite Jan. 25, 2020. Col. Morgan and Italian Air Force and ESA astronaut Col. Luca Parmitano participated in this fourth and final EVA to complete repairs on the AMS, a state-of-the-art particle physics detector.

DETROIT – Crew members on the International Space Station rang in the new year with a very different ball drop Thursday. How do you drop the ball in zero gravity? Turns out you do not. The globe they used for the ball drop went up, not down. The NASA astronauts also got to celebrate the start of 2021 16 times, since the space station orbits the earth every 90 minutes.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Four astronauts have climbed aboard a SpaceX rocket have officially launched to the International Space Station on Sunday night.

DETROIT Watch live coverage of SpaceXs Crew Dragon as it returns to Earth from the International Space Station. Two months ago NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley made history by launching into space from U.S. soil for the first time in nearly a decade. The splashdown takes place off the coast of Pensacola on the Gulf of Mexico. Live coverage

The weather criteria that must be satisfied for a go to launch is insane, and is constantly updated. Here is the current list of criteria:WindDo not launch if the sustained wind at the 162-foot level of the launch pad exceeds 30 mph. Downrange weatherDo not launch if downrange weather indicates a violation of limits at splashdown in case of Dragon launch escape. Do not launch if downrange weather shows a high probability of violating limits at splashdown in case of Dragon launch escape. Notice that the forecast is for much more than at and near the launch pad itself.
