BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — SpaceX announced Monday that its next crewed rocket launch has been delayed.
The launch of the Axiom-4 mission from the Kennedy Space Center has been moved from Tuesday to Wednesday.
SpaceX said the change is due to high winds on Tuesday.
Crews moved a Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon capsule into the upright position on Sunday.
The fourth private astronaut mission to the International Space Station is set to launch on Wednesday at 8 a.m.
Teams cleared the mission on Sunday after a full launch rehearsal and a static fire test.
The four-person crew will spend up to 14 days docked at the ISS.
SpaceX said the crew will conduct more than 60 scientific experiments and demonstrations, including human research and Earth observation.
After the launch, SpaceX plans to launch the rocket’s first-stage booster at its landing site in Florida.
The ground landing will create a sonic boom that could be heard by people throughout Central Florida.
