Investing.com-- SpaceX said it was standing down from a Wednesday night launch opportunity for a NASA mission to bring back astronauts stranded on the International Space Station, citing a technical issue.
The company said in a social media post that it was “standing down from tonight’s launch opportunity of NASA’s Crew-10 mission to the Space Station,” with the company’s livestream of the launch also indicating that it had been “scrubbed.” Commentators on SpaceX’s livestream said the delay was due to “some issues” with the hydraulic system on a clamp arm, but there will be more launch opportunities this week.
The Crew-10 mission with NASA is the tenth rotational mission to the ISS, and was scheduled to launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral on Wednesday evening.
The mission is intended to bring back astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, who have been stranded aboard the ISS since June 2024.
The duo’s return was delayed indefinitely after the Boeing Co (NYSE:BA) Starliner capsule they arrived in was declared unfit to facilitate a return to Earth.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX had bought forward the mission by two weeks following demands from U.S. President Donald Trump that Williams and Wilmore be brought back earlier than initially planned.
