NASA's Space to Ground is your weekly update on what's happening aboard the International Space Station. Expedition 72 will wait at least another day for the arrival of the SpaceX Crew-10 mission as support personnel work a ground issue at the launchpad. Meanwhile, the International Space Station stayed busy with host a microgravity research exploring robotics, combustion, and adaptation to weightlessness.
Crew-10 is now targeted to launch to the orbital outpost no earlier than 7:03 p.m. EDT on Friday, March 14, 2025. Engineers at Kennedy Space Center are investigating a hydraulic system issue with a ground support clamp arm for the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket at the launch pad. For an on-time launch, the Dragon crew spacecraft carrying NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov of Russia would dock to the orbital outpost’s Harmony module at 11:30 p.m. on Saturday.
