CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Weather conditions look mostly favorable for the Space Coast’s last launch of the year on Thursday, a mission slated to include Earth-shaking sonic booms generated by a Falcon 9 booster’s descent to Cape Canaveral.If schedules hold, SpaceX will face 70% “go” conditions at Kennedy Space Center for its 9 a.m.
to 12 p.m. launch of a secretive intelligence satellite owned by the National Reconnaissance Office. An exact liftoff time within that three-hour window has not yet been released.“Overnight Wednesday into Thursday morning, a strong high-pressure system moving east from southern Texas will bring cooler, drier air to the Space Coast,” the Space Force’s 45th Weather Squadron said Tuesday.
