The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket passed a critical engine test today as
preparations remain on track for Sunday’s launch, Hans Koenigsmann of
SpaceX told reporters Friday. The static fire test at Space Launch
Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station fired the nine engines
for less than a second to confirm that the rocket is ready to lift a
Dragon spacecraft loaded with more than two tons of cargo and
experiments to the International Space Station.
Liftoff is scheduled for Sunday at 10:21 a.m. EDT. Swedish time: 16.10. The
weather forecast stands at 90 percent chance of acceptable conditions at
launch time.
