BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Due to unfavorable weather conditions off the coast of Florida, SpaceX and NASA are standing down from the October 13, 2024 Dragon undocking opportunity from the International Space Station.

Teams will continue to monitor weather conditions for the next available opportunity.

A live webcast of undocking will begin about 15 minutes to Dragon departing the International Space Station, and will resume one hour before splashdown.

You can watch live on Space Coast Daily TV.

Aboard the spacecraft will be Crew-8 NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, Jeanette Epps, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin, who flew to the space station on Dragon when Falcon 9 launched the spacecraft from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Sunday, March 3.
