On Wednesday, SpaceX said they’re ready to launch the vehicle on Sunday, Oct. 13, pending federal approval.

Channel 5 News reached out to the Federal Aviation Administration and was told the permit SpaceX needs for the launch is not ready.

In the past, the FAA issued the permit a day before the launch date.

The FAA already issued a notice to pilots advising them that the airspace around Boca Chica will be closed on the day of the proposed launch.

The U.S. Coast Guard also issued advisories for boaters.
