Cape Canaveral: Is there a launch today? Upcoming SpaceX, Axiom, ULA rocket launch schedule at Cape Canaveral
Look for live FLORIDA TODAY Space Team blog coverage to kick off two hours before liftoff at floridatoday.com/space. We'll link to ULA's webcast about 20 minutes before launch.
Bolstered by five solid rocket boosters, the 205-foot Atlas V will fly to the northeast in its most powerful configuration.
ULA announced the forecast calls for 80% "go for launch" weather, with cumulus clouds posing a threat. The National Weather Service forecast calls for a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms Sunday night with mostly clear skies, an overnight low around 77 degrees, and east-southeast wind of 5 to 10 mph at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
In the years to come, ULA is slated to launch six more Atlas Vs and 38 Vulcan rockets on Project Kuiper satellite-deployment missions. In addition, Amazon is contracted for more than 30 missions with SpaceX, Blue Origin and Arianespace.
Amazon is wrapping up work on a $120 million, 100,000-square-foot satellite processing plant at the Launch and Landing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. An early $20 million site expansion includes a 42,000-square-foot flight hardware building.
