SpaceX Crew-10 Launch Delayed Due to Hydraulic Issue
Hey everyone, big update on the SpaceX Crew-10 mission! If you were looking forward to the launch today, well, we’ve got some news. NASA and SpaceX have decided to stand down from their scheduled Wednesday, March 12, 2025, launch attempt due to a hydraulic ground issue. This means the highly anticipated mission to the International Space Station (ISS) will have to wait just a little longer.
The Crew-10 mission was set to take off at 7:48 p.m. EDT from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. But just about 35 minutes before launch, at around 7:13 p.m., officials made the call to scrub the attempt. The good news? A backup launch window is available for Thursday, March 13, at 7:26 p.m. EDT, so we won’t have to wait too long for another try.

This mission is particularly important because it plays a crucial role in rotating astronauts aboard the ISS. Crew-10’s arrival will pave the way for Crew-9 to return home, including NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who have been on the station since June 2024. So, the delay isn’t just about getting new astronauts up there—it’s also about ensuring a smooth transition for the returning team.
The Crew-10 team includes an impressive lineup of astronauts: NASA’s Anne McClain as mission commander and Nichole Ayers as pilot, joined by Takuya Onishi from Japan and Kirill Peskov from Russia as mission specialists. Once aboard the ISS, they’ll be conducting over 200 scientific experiments, ranging from medical research to technological advancements that could shape the future of space travel.
While setbacks like this can be frustrating, safety always comes first. Space missions involve an incredible amount of precision, and even minor technical concerns can have major consequences. SpaceX and NASA engineers are working hard to address the issue, and we’ll have to wait just a little bit longer to see Crew-10 launch into orbit.
Stay tuned for more updates as NASA and SpaceX continue to provide details on the next launch opportunity. Fingers crossed for clear skies and a smooth countdown tomorrow!
