Four astronauts are set to launch on SpaceX's Crew-10 mission to the International Space Station, after a prior attempt was postponed due to a hydraulic issue. The launch was initially scheduled for Wednesday but had to be aborted with just 45 minutes remaining in the countdown. The next launch window is anticipated for Friday at 7:03 p.m. Eastern time. This mission is particularly notable as it will facilitate the return of NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, whose visit was extended unexpectedly for over nine months, following their arrival last June.
The launch scheduled for Wednesday was scrapped due to a hydraulic issue with a clamp arm, leaving only the option for a Friday launch.
This mission garners additional attention as it marks the return to Earth of NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore after an extended stay.
With the Crew-10 mission, SpaceX continues its routine operation ferrying crews to and from the International Space Station, demonstrating its capabilities.
The astronauts aboard the SpaceX spacecraft are preparing for a launch set for 7:03 p.m. Eastern time, representing the 10th crew rotation mission.
