SpaceX postponed a launch to the International Space Station (ISS) intended to replace two astronauts who have been in orbit for nine months. This decision was made due to concerns regarding the hydraulic system on the Falcon rocket, identified less than four hours before liftoff. Engineers evaluated the hydraulics crucial for releasing the rocket from its support structure. Despite the crew being already strapped in, the mission was canceled just under an hour before the countdown reached zero, with a possible reschedule to Thursday evening.
Concerns over a critical hydraulic system arose less than four hours before the Falcon rocket's planned evening liftoff, leading SpaceX to postpone the mission.
The new crew needs to get to the International Space Station before Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams can head home after nine months in orbit.
