Si2 flight to New York City postponed

Today, we have decided to postpone the flight from Lehigh Valley International Airport to JFK, New York City due to worsening weather conditions.

The weather analysis prior to the takeoff indicated a change in our predictions, with showers marking the flight path to New York. Prior to our decision to give the green light to fly to JFK, we were aware of potential showers closing in behind the Si2 flight path, however they came faster and have intensified beyond what we could have anticipated.

André Borschberg will give you a quick explanation of the situation we faced:

After several days of hard work on this potential flight, the Mission Control Center decided to prioritize pilot and airplane safety in their decision to postpone it. They are now continuing to study the weather over the coming days to find the next flight possibility bringing Solar Impulse to New York City.
