Dragon Undocking Postponed to Friday
NASA and SpaceX are postponing the Thursday, Dec. 14, undocking of a SpaceX Dragon cargo resupply spacecraft from the International Space Station due to unfavorable weather conditions as a result of a cold front passing through the splashdown zones off the coast of Florida. Joint teams continue to evaluate weather conditions to determine the best opportunity for Dragon to autonomously undock from the space station with the next available opportunity no earlier than 5:05 p.m. EST Friday, Dec. 15. Weather permitting for the Friday undocking, coverage of Dragon?s departure will would begin at 4:45 p.m. on the NASA+ streaming service via the web or the NASA app. Coverage also will air live on NASA Television, YouTube, and on the agency?s website.

After re-entering Earth?s atmosphere, the spacecraft will splash down off the coast of Florida, which will not be broadcast on NASA TV.
