KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. (NASA PR) — The fifth SpaceX cargo mission to the International Space Station (ISS) under NASA's Commercial Resupply Services contract now is scheduled to launch at 6:20:29 a.m. EST Tuesday, Jan. 6, from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. NASA Television coverage of the launch begins at 5 a.m.
The prelaunch news conferences also have moved to Monday, Jan. 5, at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. All briefings, which are subject to a change in time, will air live on NASA TV and the agency's website.
The first briefing of the day will air at noon and cover the Cloud-Aerosol Transport System (CATS) Earth science instrument headed to the space station. Participants for this briefing will be:
 

[/li]
• Julie Robinson, ISS Program chief scientist at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston
• Robert J. Swap, program scientist with the Earth Science Division at NASA Headquarters in Washington
• Matthew McGill, CATS principal investigator at Goddard
  

The second briefing will air at 1:30 p.m. and cover some of the numerous science investigations headed to the space station. Participants for the science briefing will be:
 

[/li]
• Julie Robinson, NASA's ISS Program chief scientist
• Kenneth Shields, director of operations and education for the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space
• Cheryl Nickerson, Micro-5 principal investigator at Arizona State University
• Samuel Durrance, NR-SABOL principal investigator at the Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne
  

The final briefing will air at 4 p.m. and provide up-to-date information about the launch. Participants for the prelaunch briefing will be:
 

[/li]
• Mike Suffredini, NASA's ISS Program manager
• Hans Koenigsmann, vice president for Mission Assurance at SpaceX
• Maj. Perry Sweat, U.S. Air Force's 45th Weather Squadron at Cape Canaveral  Air Force Station in Florida
  

An on-time launch on Jan. 6 will result in the Dragon spacecraft arriving at the space station on Thursday, Jan. 8. Expedition 42 Commander Barry "Butch" Wilmore of NASA will use the station's 57.7-foot robotic arm to reach out and capture Dragon at approximately 6 a.m. Flight Engineer Samantha Cristoforetti of the European Space Agency will support Wilmore as they operate from the station's cupola.
NASA TV coverage of grapple will begin at 4:30 a.m. Coverage of Dragon's installation to the Earth-facing port of the Harmony module will begin at 8:15 a.m.

к сожалению (или к счастью) Nasa на запуск SpaceX мало влияет.
А рождество у них уже закончилось - 25 дек. Поэтому они уже не спешат...

Rain and clouds in the forecast for Tuesday's SpaceX launch

Meteorologists predict mostly cloudy conditions with a chance of light rain for Tuesday morning's scheduled takeoff of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with a space station-bound supply ship, with a 40 percent chance weather could prevent liftoff during the instantaneous predawn launch opportunity.
The 20-story rocket is set for liftoff at 6:20 a.m. EST (1120 GMT) Tuesday from Cape Canaveral's Complex 40 launch pad. It will send a cargo load of more than 3,700 pounds of provisions and experiments to the six-person crew living on the International Space Station.
SpaceX will have one second to send the Falcon 9 booster and Dragon cargo craft skyward. The launch window is timed for approximately the moment the International Space Station's orbital path passes above Cape Canaveral. If weather or a technical issue prevents launch Tuesday, the next chance for liftoff will be Friday morning.
Technicians will load time-sensitive experiment specimens and fresh food into the Dragon capsule Monday.
The official weather outlook released Saturday by the U.S. Air Force's 45th Weather Squadron calls for a 60 percent chance of favorable conditions for Tuesday's launch.
A front will likely be draped over Central Florida early Tuesday, and forecasters predict a chance of very light rain and scattered clouds at 2,000 feet and 12,000 feet — plus a broken cloud deck at 24,000 feet — for the instantaneous launch window.
"The next frontal boundary will move into the area by Monday, bringing another bout of upper level clouds and increased rain chances," the Air Force weather team wrote in a forecast summary. "Like the last boundary, this front will likely not make it south of Central Florida before stalling and lingering over the area for a day or two. With the boundary overhead, the primary weather concern will be thick clouds."
Winds will be from the north-northeast at 8 to 12 mph and the temperature will be around 66 degrees Fahrenheit at launch time Tuesday.
Officials expect good visibility and low solar activity.
If the launch is delayed to Friday, there is a 30 percent that weather will prohibit launch, mainly due to a concern about flight through precipitation.
The unmanned Dragon supply ship is due to rendezvous with the space station Thursday if the mission takes off on schedule Tuesday.

Прогноз погоды - уже 70% (данные - сегодня на 1430 GMT). А на пятницу прогноз дают 80%

Ships deployed into the Atlantic for experimental rocket landing

http://spaceflightnow.com/2015/01/05/ships-deployed-into-the-atlantic-for-experimental-rocket-landing/

на первый раз - вероятность успеха не более 50%
"It's probably not more than a 50 percent chance or less of landing it on the platform for the first time," Musk said in October during a forum at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Больше хотелось бы посмотреть на трансляцию приземления (точнее прибаржения) ступени. Что интересного в старте, они каждый день происходят.
Трансляция приземления планируется?
