'Hold, hold, hold': Crew-6 launch to ISS scrubbed at last minute
With less than three minutes to liftoff, NASA and SpaceX scrubbed its launch of the Crew-6 astronaut mission to the International Space Station on Monday morning.
NASA said on its website that the concern was "an issue preventing data from confirming a full load of the ignition source for the Falcon 9 first stage Merlin engines, triethylaluminum triethylboron (or TEA-TEB)."
The instantaneous launch was initially scheduled for 1:45 a.m. on Monday. A backup launch of scheduled for Tuesday, but that will be skipped due to unfavorable weather conditions.
So now, the next launch attempt for NASA's SpaceX Crew-6 to the International Space Station will be at 12:34 a.m. on Thursday, March 2, 2023.
