Rocket Lab updated the launch attempt for its "The Grain Goddess Provides" mission to Wednesday, July 1 at 1:00 p.m. NZST because of strong winds expected over the launch site.
DAPHNE will rely on twin spacecraft to measure neutral winds, temperature, and atmospheric composition in the thermosphere and ionosphere.
NASA will provide the Aeolus payload, which contains four instruments designed to measure Martian winds, temperatures, dust, and clouds.
Aeolus is a NASA-developed suite of four complementary instruments designed to provide an integrated daily global view of Martian winds, temperatures, dust, and clouds.
Aeolus is a NASA-developed suite of four complementary instruments for an integrated daily global view of Martian winds, temperatures, dust, and clouds.
The Aeolus mission will provide the first daily global look at Martian winds, temperatures, dust, and clouds.
NASA’s Artemis 2 weather forecast shows an 80% chance of favorable conditions, with cloud coverage and potential high winds on the ground as the primary concerns.
Weather for the SLS Artemis II 48-hour delay case included isolated showers, visibility greater than 7 miles, a temperature of 74°F, humidity of 80%, and ground winds of 17 to 22 knots from 120 degrees at 132 feet.
The primary weather concerns for the SLS Artemis II 48-hour delay case were the cumulus cloud rule, thick cloud layers rule, and ground winds.
Launch-day weather for SLS Artemis II included visibility greater than 7 miles, a temperature of 75°F, humidity of 75%, and ground winds of 15 to 20 knots from 110 degrees at 132 feet.
Strong winds in the launch area delayed the opening of the launch window for Isar Aerospace’s Mission ‘Onward and Upward’.
Spire Global’s fourth-quarter 2025 revenue growth was driven in part by higher sales of radio-occultation and ocean-winds data under NOAA contracts and by higher space-services revenue.
Firefly Aerospace scrubbed Alpha Flight 7 due to high upper-level winds that exceed FAA safety parameters.
High upper-level winds exceeded the safety parameters established by the Federal Aviation Administration for the Alpha Flight 7 launch.
Alpha Flight 7 was scrubbed today due to high upper-level winds that exceeded Federal Aviation Administration safety parameters.
Rocket Lab expects upper-level winds to be within bounds for a 6:30 pm ET liftoff.
Firefly Aerospace will continue to work closely with Space Launch Delta 30 to monitor winds ahead of the upcoming test flight.
High upper-level winds projected for Friday prompted moving Alpha Flight 7's launch to no earlier than Saturday, February 28, 2026.
Rolling the Artemis 2 rocket on Feb. 25 gives teams enough time to complete preparations at the launch pad that were limited by high winds.
SMILE’s service module will propel the spacecraft from its initial orbit into a 121,000-kilometer science orbit to monitor solar winds and study space weather.
