NASA SpaceX rocket launch LIVE UPDATES: SpaceX in association with NASA was supposed to launch its Crew Dragon capsule on top of its Falcon 9 rocket to the International Space Station (ISS) on May 27. However, the launch was delayed due to adverse weather conditions at the last minute. This is the first time after nine years since NASA shut down its space shuttle program back in 2011. This is also the first time that a private spacecraft company is going to use its own rocket to put humans into space.
SpaceX and NASA have announced that they have rescheduled the launch for May 31 at 1:52 AM IST. If they hit yet another snag, they have another backup date of June 1 at 12:30 AM IST. No backup dates after that have been revealed as of now. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, both NASA and SpaceX have urged eager viewers to stay at home and do not flock towards the Kennedy Space Center.
