CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — All systems are "go" for tomorrow's (Feb. 18) planned launch of SpaceX's Dragon cargo capsule toward the International Space Station, even though a small leak was spotted in the rocket that will blast the freighter skyward.
"We've loaded the Dragon full of supplies, both inside and outside of the trunk. I think we're on the order of 5,500 lbs. [2,400 kilograms], and the most external cargo mass that we've ever launched in the trunk," Dan Hartman, the International Space Station's deputy program manager, said during an early evening briefing today (Feb. 17). "We're ready to go, and everything looks very, very healthy for us."
The liftoff is scheduled to take place at 10:01 a.m. EST (1501 GMT) tomorrow from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. You can watch the launch live here at Space.com, courtesy of NASA TV; coverage begins at 8:30 a.m. EST (1330 GMT).
