NASA Command and Mission managers described the reason for the delay as everything “taking off” in anticipation of some open business. Someone said they were a little late getting the Dragon and Falcon 9 rockets ready for launch.
But with a crew of four astronauts, a flight readiness review is a critical step before launch.
“The important thing is we never forget about vigilance, we maintain that and we don’t get complacent. “Oh, the rocket goes off every week, and it’s no big deal,” Florida Tech’s Don Platt said, “especially when you have humans on board, This is a completely different game than even a billion dollar satellite.”
The NASA SpaceX Crew-6 mission is manned and piloted by two NASA astronauts and includes a Russian cosmonaut and an astronaut from the United Arab Emirates in the country’s first long-term space mission.
Crew-6 will operate on the International Space Station for six months, and comes with Cape ascending its busiest year yet.
“Last year there were 57 launches, and that was a record year. So, they expect to launch almost a hundred times this year. This definitely breaks last year’s record,” said Anna Farrar of Space Florida.
So what is the effect of delays like Crew-6?
“It means more coordination with our friends across the board,” Farrar said. “It’s just great. We’re working really well with all of our partners.”
Space Florida has started a working group of all entities in the Cape looking to ensure coordination and try to deal with potential issues now before they grow as the pace of launches increases.
For Crew-6, the next steps are a static test launch of the Falcon 9 booster on Friday and then, later in the night, a pre-launch press conference.
