The Axium-4 mission carrying Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla to the International Space Station (ISS) has been postponed for the fourth time. It was to be launched today on June 11 at 5.30 pm Indian time. It has been postponed due to oxygen leak.
In Axium Mission 4 (Ax-4), four astronauts from four countries are going to the space station for 14 days. Shubhanshu will be the first to go to the ISS and the second Indian to go to space. Earlier, Rakesh Sharma had traveled to space in 1984 from the Soviet Union's spacecraft.
Indian Space Research Organization i.e., ISRO said that the performance of the booster stage was checked before the launch of SpaceX's Falcon-9 rocket from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.During this, a 7-second hot test was done. Then oxygen leak was detected in the propulsion bay, after which the mission was postponed. The new date will be announced soon.
