Bad weather at the launch of SpaceX spacecraft, deferred mission a few minutes before take off
The launching of a SpaceX rocket ship flying into Orbit with two NASA astronauts was called off with 16 minutes to go into the countdown due to an electrical hazard.
The human space mission of Space X of America collapsed due to bad weather today and the human space mission had to be stopped today just a few minutes before the launch. In fact, a SpaceX rocket carrying the Dragon capsule with NASA pilots Doug Hurley and Bob Benken was scheduled to fly from the Kennedy International Space Station in the early hours of today, but could not do so due to bad weather.
It is believed that it was to be launched in the International Space Station at a predetermined time of 4.33 pm. But it could not happen due to rain and storm. It has now been deferred till Saturday and will be tried again on Saturday morning. For the first time in the last decade, astronauts will fly from Florida.
If it had a successful launch today, SpaceX would have become the first private company to send astronauts to space. This is something that only Russia, American and China have been able to do so far. However, there will be a second re-launching attempt on Saturday.
This is the first time that a private company will send astronauts to space instead of the government. On the eve of the space departure, NASA Administrator Jim Bridgestine from the Kennedy Space Center said that the space agency and Space X have told everyone involved with the departure to be free to stop the countdown the moment they see any concern or trouble. Huh.
Bridgestine said that the safety of astronauts is paramount. Bridgestine said that he had sent a message to both the astronauts on Monday and asked, "If you want me to stop it for any reason, then you say. I'll stop it in a moment. '
The astronauts said, "We are ready for this journey." Let me tell you that on Tuesday local time there was a 60 percent improvement in the weather but even then it was not favorable. SpaceX needs calm waves and calm air in the seas from the US, Canada and the North Atlantic to Ireland to do so if the emergency situation arises.
