Washington, United States: NASA on Monday delayed by one day the journey of four astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) over weather conditions.
The US space agency is now targeting February 12 for the lift-off of Crew-12's mission aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, with a window opening at 5:38am local time (1038 GMT).
"Mission teams completed a weather review on Monday and elected to waive off a Wednesday, February 11, launch opportunity due to forecast weather conditions along the flight path of the Dragon spacecraft," NASA said in a statement.
"Weather will continue to be a watch item on Feb 12, and conditions are expected to improve on Friday, February 13."
Crew-12 is composed of Americans Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, along with French astronaut Sophie Adenot and Russian cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev.
