NASA is preparing for a moon launch scheduled for Wednesday, but weather conditions could pose a threat to the mission. The forecast is a critical variable for any space launch, as adverse weather can delay or scrub the attempt entirely. Andrew Kozak provides details on the atmospheric conditions expected at the launch site. Weather delays are routine in the space industry—NASA and other agencies maintain strict safety protocols that ground launches during unfavorable conditions to protect crew and equipment.
