NASA, SpaceX scrub launch attempt of next quartet to space station

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The first four humans to fly into space in 2023 will have to wait a couple more days as teams scrubbed an early Monday morning launch attempt with less than three minutes before the planned liftoff.

The quartet making up the SpaceX Crew-6 mission to the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program strapped into the Crew Dragon Endeavour atop a Falcon 9 rocket late Sunday at KSC’s Launch Pad 39-A. Had it lifted off, it would have been making its record-setting fourth flight to the ISS.

NASA announced it would target Thursday at 12:34 a.m. as long as SpaceX could resolve the technical issue that prevented Monday’s launch.
