NASA and SpaceX have rescheduled the launch of the Crew-1 mission to the International Space Station (ISS) to Sunday due to onshore winds and first-stage booster recovery readiness.
The scheduled time for the Crew-1 flight was on Saturday at 7.49 p.m. EST on a Falcon 9 Launch vehicle from Kennedy Space Center of NASA's Launch Complex 39A. The team decided to delay the launch after completing the final major review for the mission on Friday.
India TV reported, "After the review, NASA and SpaceX agreed to target the launch for 7.27 p.m. EST on Sunday".
The mission is to take Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)'s astronauts Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover, and Shannon Walker, and astronaut Soichi Noguchi in the Crew Dragon spacecraft to the space station for the next six months, which will launch on the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
