New ISS crew must postpone launch into space

Date:

The launch of a new crew to the International Space Station, which was originally scheduled for Sunday morning CET, had to be postponed by a day due to weather conditions. The American space agency NASA announced this on X (formerly Twitter).

The launch would now take place on Monday morning at 4:53 a.m. CET, it was said. The ‘Crew-8’, which consists of three Americans and one Russian, will be delivered to the ISS from the Cape Canaveral spaceport in the US state of Florida aboard a ‘Crew Dragon’ capsule from the private space company SpaceX. billionaire Elon Musk.

This would be the repeated time since the beginning of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine that astronauts from both countries would fly into space together, despite the resulting enormous tensions between the US and Russia.

NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, their colleague Jeanette Epps and cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin are expected to spend about six months exploring the ISS. It will be the first space flight for Epps, Dominick and Grebenkin; Barratt has visited the space station twice before.

There is currently a crew of seven aboard humanity’s space outpost.
