The launch of NASA’s Psyche asteroid mission has been postponed to 10:19 a.m. EDT on Friday, October 13th, due to inclement weather approaching from the Gulf of Mexico.

Originally, NASA’s Psyche probe, designed to investigate a metal asteroid with the same name, was set to launch on Thursday morning, October 12th, aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Pad 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

However, at a prelaunch press briefing on Wednesday, the weather forecast for the following morning indicated only a 20% chance of favorable conditions, Space.com reported.
