NASA and SpaceX have provided a unique perspective on Hurricane Milton, capturing its approach towards Florida from space. The Category 5 hurricane's impact has led to the postponement of key space missions, including the departure of SpaceX's Crew-8 mission.
() Introduction
() Hurricane Milton Captured from Space by NASA and SpaceX
Hurricane Milton, a powerful Category 5 storm, is approaching Florida, prompting significant safety measures and disruptions in both local and space operations. The International Space Station has captured footage of the hurricane, with NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick sharing a timelapse video from the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule Endeavour, highlighting the storm's immense scale. In anticipation of the hurricane's landfall on Florida's west coast, NASA's Kennedy Space Center and the United States Space Force base at Cape Canaveral have reduced their personnel to essential staff only to ensure safety. The hurricane's impact has also led to delays in space missions. The departure of SpaceX's Crew-8 mission from the International Space Station has been postponed to no earlier than October 13, and the launch of the Europa Clipper mission, aimed at exploring Jupiter's moon, has been delayed. The return of the Crew-8 mission to Earth, initially scheduled for October 7, has been rescheduled due to the storm. Local authorities, including Sarasota Mayor Liz Alpert and Tampa Mayor Jane Castor, are issuing severe warnings and urging residents to evacuate to avoid the potentially catastrophic effects of Hurricane Milton. The situation is being closely monitored, with further updates expected as the storm progresses.
