![A large, white rocket with the words “ANTARES” in black letters stands vertical on its launch pad, surrounded by four poles used for lightning protection. To the right of the rocket, a water tower with long, spindly white legs has a white dome on top, with a dark logo that’s not fully visible. To the left of the rocket, is a large, open metal structure with a smaller circular structure on its side. There are several tall, gray light poles placed around the road. All of this is framed against a light blue sky with fluffy white clouds.](https://blogs.nasa.gov/ng-crs-19/wp-content/uploads/sites/371/2023/07/WFF20221103001-1024x683.jpg)
The Wallops Range 24-hour forecast issued today for the Tuesday, Aug. 1, launch of Northrop Grumman’s 19th resupply mission to the International Space Station continues to keep weather at 80% favorable, with a slight chance of cumulus clouds being the main weather concern.
The upper-level trough will remain over the Wallops Region Tuesday with a chance of an afternoon pop-up shower or thunderstorms during the countdown. At this time, the primary concern for the launch window is a slight chance of cumulus clouds.
NASA commercial cargo provider Northrop Grumman is targeting 8:31 p.m. EDT Tuesday, Aug. 1, for the launch.
