Initially scheduled for Wednesday, takeoff was canceled at the last minute Due to a technical problem with a land support system.
Since then an inspection was carried out and an “air bag” was probably responsible for the problemNASA reported.
This mission, called CREW-10, aims to allow Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, Two American astronauts stranded in the US since June, return to Earth.
The return could begin next Wednesday, a few days after the arrival of the new crew, aboard a Spacex ship -not the Boeing Starliner that transported them and suffered failures.
