Falcon 9 Alami Leaks, Launch Of Axiom 4 Mission Forced Postponed

JAKARTA The Axiom 4 (Ax-4) mission canceled its launch into space on Wednesday, June 11. The space project initiated by Axiom Space failed to launch on time due to problems with SpaceX's rocket.

In a recent report released by NASA, partner of aviation mission Axiom, Falcon-9 experienced a liquid oxygen leak. This problem was identified during the inspection stage, precisely after the static fire.

This delay was made so that SpaceX could fix the problem of its liquid oxygen leakage. No new launch date has yet been set as Axiom Space and NASA are waiting for the rocket system to be repaired.

"The new launch date for the fourth private astronaut mission will be provided once repair work is complete, pending range availability," NASA said in its report.

The Ax-4 is a launch mission to the International Space Station (ISS). The mission includes four crews, including former NASA astronaut total Whitson as mission leader and Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) Astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla as a pilot.

In addition, there are two mission specialists who are astronauts from the European Space Agency (ESA), namely Sryptawosz Uzna Marijuki-Wimeniewski and Tibor Kapu. Each of these astronauts came from Poland and Hungary.

This is an important launch agenda for the three countries, namely India, Poland, and Hungary. The reason is, this will be the first space flight to the ISS for the three countries.

Although India, Poland and Hungary have sent other humans to space, this has been done several years ago. The projects being carried out are different so that no representatives from these three countries have visited the ISS.
