Today’s launch of the Falcon 9 carrying the CRS-5 mission to the International Space Station. Initial indications show an issue with actuator drift on the spacecraft, assuming it can be resolved by Friday the next attempt will be at 5:09 am EST.
Update: Elon Musk tweeted that they are investigating the upper stage Z actuator which was behaving strangely during the final stages of the countdown today.
The weather forecast for Friday’s attempt is currently showing a 20% chance of launch criteria violation due to fly through precipitation.
