Launch to ISS delayed again over weather: NASA
NASA has announced a postponement of the Crew-12 mission launch to the International Space Station (ISS), originally scheduled for February 13. The delay is attributed to unfavorable weather conditions that could affect the safety and success of the mission. This marks another setback in NASA's ongoing efforts to facilitate crewed spaceflights as part of its collaboration with SpaceX. The Crew-12 mission is significant as it aims to transport astronauts to the ISS for extended research and experiments that will benefit both space exploration and scientific advancements. NASA and SpaceX are currently assessing the situation and will provide updates on a new launch date once the weather improves and it is deemed safe to proceed. This mission is part of NASA's broader Artemis program, which seeks to return humans to the Moon and eventually prepare for missions to Mars, highlighting the critical role of commercial partnerships in advancing space technology and exploration.
