Dragons Tail

The weather forecast is now 80 percent favorable for liftoff of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft at 10:10 a.m. EST tomorrow from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. There is only a slight possibility of thick clouds and winds at launch time.

The mission is the second of 12 SpaceX flights contracted by NASA to resupply the International Space Station. It will mark the third trip by a Dragon capsule to the orbiting laboratory, following a demonstration flight in May 2012 and the first resupply mission in October 2012.

The Dragon and Falcon under went a test fire and countdown in the pre-launch test. They ran the engines for 2 seconds during the test. Happy flight Dragon..
