CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida : Elon Musk's rocket company SpaceX was ready to try again at sending NASA's next long-duration crew of the International Space Station to orbit on Thursday, about 72 hours after a first attempt was scrubbed due to a clogged filter in the launch system.
The four-man crew should reach the International Space Station , orbiting some 250 miles above Earth, about 25 hours after launch, early on Friday morning. "All systems are looking good for launch," though teams were keeping an eye on weather along the spacecraft's ascent path, SpaceX said on Twitter.
Fellow NASA astronaut Warren"Woody" Hoburg, 37, an engineer and commercial aviator designated as the Crew 6 pilot, will be making his first spaceflight. Fedyaev is the latest cosmonaut to fly aboard an American spacecraft under a ride-sharing deal signed in July by NASA and the Russian space agency Roscosmos, despite heightened tensions between Washington and Moscow over Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
