IXPE’s Final Countdown Begins

Everything is looking great as NASA's Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) spacecraft, aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, prepares to launch into the sky from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. We are now just about 5 minutes away from liftoff.

NASA Launch Director Tim Dunn reported the rocket is on internal power and the rocket is ready to launch. Stage 1 launch load is complete.
