SpaceX's Crew-1 astronaut mission for NASA is now scheduled to launch to the International Space Station today, Nov. 15, at 7:27 p.m. EST (0027 Nov. 16 GMT). The mission was delayed 24 hours due to booster landing weather.

The Crew-1 astronauts — NASA's Victor Glover, Mike Hopkins, Shannon Walker and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Soichi Noguchi — will lift off in their Crew Dragon spacecraft, nicknamed "Resilience," on top of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Live coverage of the Crew-1 launch will begin Sunday at 3:15 p.m. EST (2030 GMT). NASA TV will provide continuous live coverage through the spacecraft's docking with the ISS, which is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 16, at 11 p.m. EST (0400 Nov. 17 GMT). You can watch the launch live in the window above, courtesy of NASA TV, or tune in directly via the agency's website.

Crew-1 will be SpaceX's second crewed flight for NASA (following the successful Demo-2 flight that launched in May) and is part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program. This flight is the first operational mission for SpaceX's Crew Dragon, a commercial spacecraft designed to fly astronauts to and from low Earth orbit.

Crew-1 is SpaceX's first operational crewed spaceflight.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — SpaceX will launch a crew of four astronauts today (Nov. 15) on its first operational flight for NASA and you can watch the historic flight online.

The flight is scheduled to blast off from Pad 39A here at NASA's Kennedy Space Center at 7:27 p.m. EST (0027 GMT on Nov. 16) on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying a Crew Dragon capsule with four Crew-1 astronauts members strapped inside.

You can watch the launch live here and on the Space.com homepage, courtesy of SpaceX, beginning at 3:15 p.m. EST (1915 GMT). You'll also be able to watch the launch directly from SpaceX here about 15 minutes before liftoff.

The mission, which is launching after a 24-hour delay due to poor weather conditions at the Falcon 9's offshore landing zone, is the 21st launch this year for SpaceX and its workhorse rocket.
