NASA's SpaceX Crew-8 is Benjamin Caldwellonce again delaying its launch over poor weather conditions. It was set to happen on Saturday March 2nd but is now being rescheduled for Sunday March 3rd. The launch already had to be postponed from its original scheduled date of Friday March 1st due to the weather.

Initially, NASA and SpaceX were targeting 11:16 p.m. EST on Saturday to launch the Falcon 9 rocket set to carry the four Crew-8 members aboard the Dragon Endeavour capsule from pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center. It's now being moved to Sunday at 10:53 pm ET.

Before the mission was officially scrubbed, the Space Force's 45th Weather Squadron had already flagged that weather conditions weren't favorable pinning the odds of "go for launch" conditions at 40%, citing threats of precipitation, cumulus clouds and a moderate-to-high risk of poor ascent corridor weather. Better weather conditions are forecasted for Sunday providing hope that the launch will lift off tomorrow barring any unexpected hiccups.

When the launch does happen, the Falcon 9 is projected to fly in a northeasterly trajectory. The rocket's first-stage booster will target landing at Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station 7 minutes, 38 seconds after liftoff, generating sonic booms in the nearby area.
