NASA and SpaceX Postpone October 10 Europa Clipper Launch Due to Hurricane Milton
Oct 6, 2024, 11:06 PM
NASA and SpaceX have decided to postpone the Europa Clipper mission launch, originally scheduled for Thursday, October 10, due to anticipated hurricane conditions caused by Hurricane Milton. The decision to stand down from the launch was made in response to the expected impact of the hurricane in the area. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had previously cleared the launch, but the weather conditions necessitated the delay. The next launch opportunity will be assessed after Hurricane Milton passes, ensuring the safety of the spaceport and the mission.
