The Crew-10 flight, jointly operated by NASA and SpaceX, was scheduled to head to International Space Station (ISS) today to bring back stranded astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore. But the takeoff from Kennedy Space Center in Florida was scrubbed. The company waived off the launch attempt because of an issue with the launchpad’s ground system.
Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore have been stuck in space for nine months after a trip on Boeing’s faulty Starliner. SpaceX called off the flight over a last-minute technical issue with the rocket’s launchpad, officials said on a livestream of the launch countdown.
It was not immediately clear when the next launch opportunity would be. The reason for the scrub suggests that SpaceX and NASA could try to launch again in the coming days.
