The Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator remained grounded at the Pacific Missile Range Facility on Kauai on Monday morning.
Thursday and Friday’s launch of the Low Density Supersonic Decelerator aboard a high-altitude balloon has been cancelled due to weather.
A line of rain showers developed overnight moving toward the launch site, creating unstable wind conditions near the surface that would prevent the launch of the balloon, mission managers said.
The forecast calls for more unstable wind conditions on Friday, they said.
