Sept. 9 (UPI) — SpaceX late Sunday announced it has scheduled early Tuesday for its historic launch of the manned Polaris Dawn mission following multiple delays.
The Elon Musk-owned company said in a statement that it has set 3:38 a.m. EDT for the mission’s launch from Florida’s Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. Two additional launch opportunities have been identified within a four-hour window — at 5:23 a.m. and 7:09 a.m. — with backup opportunities available at the same times on Wednesday.
