The launch of Crew-10 to the ISS has been rescheduled to March 14 following a hydraulic issue with a clamp arm on the Falcon 9 rocket. Crew-10 astronauts were ready for launch when the decision was made to scrub due to safety concerns. While initially a quick turnaround was planned, bad weather further delayed the mission. This mission is significant not only for its crew rotation but also for the extended stay of Starliner astronauts, which has drawn attention from the U.S. administration to bring them back home.
The Crew-10 launch has been postponed until March 14 due to a hydraulic issue with a clamp arm on the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
Initially aimed for a quick turnaround, the launch delay gives workers time to address the hydraulic issue and consider high winds along the flight path.
Crew-10 serves a dual purpose: a routine crew rotation and a 'rescue mission' for Starliner astronauts who have been on the ISS since June 2024.
NASA initially planned for Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to stay a week on the ISS; however, their mission extended to nine months due to technical issues.
