Why SpaceX, NASA cancelled rocket launch — Official

SpaceX and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA, have explained why they cancelled the planned rocket launch of Crew-10 to the International Space Station, ISS, on Wednesday.

Officials said the cancellation was as a result of a hydraulic issue with one of the ground systems.

This is according to officials giving a live broadcast of the event, Fox News reports on Wednesday.

NASA and SpaceX will get their next opportunity to send the rocket into space when the launch window opens on Thursday at 7:25 pm.

Earlier, United States Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth shared a message of support for NASA’s SpaceX Crew-10 ahead of their launch on Wednesday, highlighting the U.S. military’s prominent role in the mission.

“I just want to take a brief moment to say we are praying for you,” Hegseth said in a video posted to X. “We wish you Godspeed, and we look forward to welcoming you all home soon.”

NASA’s SpaceX Crew-10 was slated to launch from the Kennedy Space Centre at 7:48 pm on Wednesday.

NASA officials said Wednesday night’s launch was cancelled due to a hydraulics issue with a clamp arm on the launch tower.

Government authorities have not mentioned when the next launch attempt will take place, though there are alternative times on Thursday and Friday, including the next opening on Thursday at 7:25 pm.
