NASA Begins Post-Hurricane Milton Assessments at Kennedy
NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida remains closed as Hurricane Milton moves off the coast. The safety of everyone impacted by the storm remains our top priority as the agency begins the assessment and recovery process from the hurricane. Once the winds subsided to a safe level, the center's Ride Out Team and engineering teams began initial checkouts to ensure bridges are safe and useable. Later, a larger assessment team will thoroughly check the entire center. The agency's Europa Clipper launch team will schedule an official launch date when teams from NASA and SpaceX are able to perform their assessments, and confirm its safe to launch. Teams are working to protect launch opportunities no earlier than Sunday, Oct. 13. Clipper has launch opportunities through Wednesday, Nov. 6.NASA will provide more information on Clipper launch opportunities as it becomes available.
