Owing to weather concerns, NASA and SpaceX today scrubbed the launch of the Dragon 2 spacecraft as part of the DM-2 demonstration mission aimed at certifying the vehicle as being capable of delivering astronauts to the International Space Station. Heading into today's launch, weather conditions had continued to remain tricky, with forecasts consistently predicting unfavorable conditions for recovering astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley in case of a launch abort prior to the Falcon 9 launch vehicle propelling the Dragon to the International Space Station (ISS).
