No word on the next attempt for the Polaris Dawn mission.
SpaceX is grounded until the FAA finishes their investigation.
Will update when a date is given.
Friday at 3:38AM EDT is the next launch attempt.
Watching weather on that day closely.
The @PolarisProgram launch has sipped a day to now Wednesday at 3:38AM EDT.
The additional time is needed for checks and to resolve a ground-side helium leak on the Quick Disconnect umbilical.

Final photo share from the launch of the @NOAA #GOESU weather satellite.
The #FalconHeavy was the taxi and boy did it deliver!
5 star rating 🤔? I’m thinking definitely!
#SpaceX
A successful launch of the latest @NOAA weather satellite.
Spacex launches the Falcon Heavy on the first attempt with only 30% favorable weather .

UPDATE: Boeing, NASA and United Launch Alliance have made the decision to allow engineering teams to spend Tuesday, May 7, evaluating the data and the next launch opportunity will be no earlier than Friday, May 10.
Teams stand down from #Starliner’s Crew Flight Test first launch attempt.
@ulalaunch with concurrence from our team and @NASA scrubbed the launch due to a valve issue on the upper stage of the Atlas V. Starliner is healthy.

Engineers have confirmed that corrupted memory aboard my twin #Voyager1 has been causing it to send unreadable data to Earth. It may take months, but our team is optimistic they can find a way for the FDS to operate normally again: go.nasa.gov/3vGOBhw
An update on my twin #Voyager1: The team recently sent a "poke" to prompt V1's flight data system (FDS) and received a signal that differed from past attempts. A DSN engineer helped decode this signal, which may contain clues to the source of the issue: go.nasa.gov/3RihsPR

The Voyager spacecraft sits against a stunning blue hazed background peppered with thousands of white dots representing distant stars. Voyager's white high-gain antenna dish is facing upward toward the stars. Other antenna and instruments our outlined around the dish, fading into the vastness of space.
