The new ISS crew must postpone the launch into space

The launch of a new crew to the International Space Station (ISS), originally scheduled for Sunday morning German time, was postponed by a day due to weather conditions. Now the crew is scheduled to arrive on Monday morning at 4:53 (CET), the US space agency NASA announced on the online platform "X". This is the second postponement of the departure due to weather conditions. The first launch was originally scheduled for Friday.

"Crew 8", consisting of three Americans and one Russian, will be transported aboard a capsule "Crew Dragon" of billionaire Elon Musk's private space company SpaceX from the Cape Canaveral space base in the US state of Florida to the ISS. In this way, for the umpteenth time since the start of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, astronauts from both countries will fly together in space, despite the high tensions between the US and Russia. The docking of the space capsule is scheduled for Tuesday morning (CET).

NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, their colleague Jeanette Epps and cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin are expected to conduct scientific research aboard the ISS for about six months. This will be the first space flight for Epps, Dominick and Grebenkin, with Barratt having visited the ISS twice before. Currently, there is a crew of seven people on board the space station./ DW
