'Reintensification' is likely as Ian churns toward the Carolinas on Friday, forecasters warn.
Expedition 68 astronaut Bob Hines of NASA captured footage of the weakening, yet still forceful, hurricane from the International Space Station .
Hurricane Ian weakened to a tropical storm as it crossed Florida on Thursday . But it still brought strong winds and heavy winds to the Space Coast, forcing the delay of several launches. For example, earlier this week, NASA pulled its Artemis 1 moon rocket off Launch Pad 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center to shelter at the cavernous Vehicle Assembly Building. NASA had been targeting a Sept. 27 launch for the mission.
Ian was classified as a Category 4 hurricane when it hit southwest Florida on Wednesday , but it later weakened to a tropical storm. The ISS forms part of a network of observations tracking the storm in real time from orbit, although forecasts rely upon a set of satellites managed by NASA and the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration , among other entities.
