A SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule and Falcon 9 rocket were originally scheduled to launch the Crew-3 mission on October 31st, from Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Earlier today, NASA announced the launch would be delayed by 72 hours due to poor weather conditions on the flight path. Instead, the launch will be on November 3rd at 1:10 AM EST (05:10 GMT).
