The International Space Station leak crisis is temporarily resolved, SpaceX manned mission Axiom-4 is tentatively launched on June 19

Passionategeekz June 17th news, Axiom Space’s fourth manned mission, Axiom – 4, was originally scheduled to be launched on June 11th, and the launch was delayed due to liquid oxygen leakage from SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket booster and an abnormal pressure on the International Space Station Russian service module Zvezda.

NASA and Axiom Space have suspended their mission out of caution.PassionategeekzCiting the latest report from technology media Space, the Zvezda module leak problem has been initially fixed and the pressure has stabilized. For this reason, NASA tentatively plans to launch the Axiom-4 mission from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida in the morning of June 19.

The mission is the fourth commercial manned space mission organized by Axiom Space, which will carry an international astronaut team composed of Indian Air Force Colonel Shubhanshu Shukla, former NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson, Hungarian astronaut Tibor Kapu and Polish astronaut Sławosz Uznański.

The launch was originally scheduled to take place on June 11, but SpaceX’s technical team discovered a liquid oxygen leak in the Falcon 9 rocket booster during a pre-launch inspection. Meanwhile, the Russian service module Zvezda of the International Space Station also experienced abnormal pressure, and NASA recommended delaying the launch for safety reasons.

It is worth noting that this will be the first flight mission of SpaceX’s new generation of Dragon spacecraft. The spacecraft has undergone a number of upgrades, including storage space expansion, propulsion component improvements and seat fixing design optimization.

The Axiom-4 mission has important international significance and will set multiple records: this is the second time India has sent astronauts into space after 41 years; it is also the first time that Hungary and Poland have citizens entered the International Space Station.

As planned, astronauts will stay at the International Space Station for 14 days and perform more than 60 scientific experiments, including India-led space agricultural research, life science experiments, etc. These experiments will accumulate experience for India’s planned manned space mission in 2027 and future space station construction.
