NASA Delays SpaceX Launch Amid Boeing Starliner Issues
NASA has postponed the launch of SpaceX's Crew-9 mission to the International Space Station from August 18 to September 24. The delay allows additional time to address concerns with Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, which is currently docked at the ISS.
NASA announced on Tuesday that the planned SpaceX launch of astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) has been pushed back by a month.
The delay is due to NASA requiring more time to analyze issues with Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, which is currently docked at the ISS.
Originally scheduled for August 18, the SpaceX Crew-9 mission is now slated for no earlier than September 24, allowing mission managers to finalize return plans for Boeing's Crew Flight Test.
