NASA and SpaceX scrubbed Mondays launch effort of the companys SpaceX Crew-6 mission to the International Space Station (ISS) due to a ground systems issue. Mission groups decided to stand down to examine a concern preventing information from verifying a full load of the ignition source for the Falcon 9 first phase Merlin engines, triethylaluminum triethylboron (or TEA-TEB).
” Im happy of the NASA and SpaceX teams focus and devotion to keeping Crew-6 safe,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. “Human spaceflight is a naturally risky undertaking and, as constantly, we will fly when we are ready.”
SpaceX has actually removed propellant from the Falcon 9 rocket and the astronauts have left the Dragon spacecraft for astronaut crew quarters. Both the Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft are in a safe setup.
Due to undesirable weather report conditions, NASA and SpaceX will pass up a launch chance on Tuesday, February 28.
The next readily available launch effort is at 12:34 a.m. EST on Thursday, March 2, pending the resolution of the technical issue avoiding Mondays launch.
