ISS Mission Launch Set for Early October

17 Sep

Summary

Crew 13 mission to ISS, including cosmonaut Teteryatnikov, targeted for October.
Original September 12 launch postponed due to oxidizer leak.
Crew includes astronauts from NASA, CSA, and Roscosmos.

The start of the Crew 13 mission to the International Space Station (ISS) is now tentatively scheduled for early October. This mission is set to carry Russian cosmonaut Sergey Teteryatnikov along with NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Joshua Kutryk.

Initially planned for a September 12 launch, the mission was postponed. The delay was implemented to resolve an oxidizer leak discovered in the Dragon spacecraft's propulsion system during routine pre-launch processing. Teteryatnikov and Kutryk will serve as mission specialists, while Watkins will command the mission and Delaney will act as pilot.
