Due to unfavourable weather conditions on the Space Coast for the launch attempt on Tuesday, November 22nd, NASA and SpaceX are now targeting Saturday, November 26th for the launch of the 26th Dragon resupply mission to the International Space Station.

Despite the low probability of launch, outlined by the Launch Weather Officer (LWO), SpaceX proceeded into the countdown and loaded Falcon 9 with propellants before making the final decision to stand down in the final minutes of the countdown. Despite the decision being mate before Falcon 9 begun its startup sequence, SpaceX's launch team agreed to continue to T57 seconds where the clock was stopped and the 3 word hold procedure was executed.

The rocket and spacecraft remain in a healthy configuration for their next launch attempt scheduled for Saturday at 2pm EST (1900 UTC).
