Washington: The US space agency NASA announced the postponement of the launch of the Crew-13 mission to the International Space Station, which was scheduled to be launched in mid-September.
NASA said in a statement that it is working with SpaceX to adjust the launch date of the agency’s Crew-13 mission to the International Space Station to address an oxidizer leak in the Dragon spacecraft’s propulsion system, which was discovered during standard pre-launch vehicle preparations.
The agency added that NASA and SpaceX are conducting additional checks, noting that a new launch date for the mission has not yet been determined.
