The SpaceX trip is postponed to the International Space Station for the Return
The reason for the postponement is due to a problem in the launch platform, and the new crew must reach the International Space Station before the astronaut from NASA, Bush Wilmor and Sony Williams can return to Earth after nine months in orbit.
“SpaceX” trip to the International Space Station
The US Space Agency explained that the new launch date will be tomorrow, Friday, at 03: 7 pm (2303 GMT) at the earliest estimate, as the launch process was postponed today, Thursday, “due to the strong winds and the expected rain in the path of the vehicle’s” Dragon “flight.
The crew “Croo10”, which includes the two astronauts from NASA AN MacLean and Nicole Aires, the Japanese astronaut Takoya Unishi, and Russian astronaut Kirill Peskov, are the crew “Croo9-” upon their arrival at the International Space Station.
NASA announced that the crew “Croo9”, which includes astronauts from NASA Nick Hig, Williams and Wilmmore, and Russian astronaut Alexander Gorbonov, is now ready to leave the International Space Station no later than March 19, mortgrating the weather off the coast of Florida.
Fears of a hydraulic system appeared less than four hours before the evening launch planned for the “Falcon” missile from the NASA space center.
Pioneers stranded
While the countdown was continuing, engineers are evaluating the hydraulic system responsible for liberating one of the arms that fix the missile in its supportive structure, a structure that needs to be tilted back immediately before the launch.
While the four astronauts had already settled in the capsule, they were waiting for the final decision, which came less than an hour before the launch, as it canceled the “SpaceX” task for this day.
Once the new crew arrives at the station, the American, Japanese and Russian crew will replace Wilmor and Williams, who have been there since June.
