NASA’s third private launch to the ISS has been delayed to give SpaceX more time to complete pre-launch checkouts and data analysis on the launch vehicle.
NASA’s third private launch to the International Space Station (ISS) has been moved from Wednesday to Thursday to give SpaceX more time to complete pre-launch checkouts and data analysis on the Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon capsule.
The Axiom-3 mission, organized by Texas-based Axiom Space, was originally set to get underway on Wednesday afternoon, but earlier in the day SpaceX announced it was delaying launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida by about 24 hours.
If the new schedule holds, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket will blast off the launchpad at 4:49 p.
