NASA revealed the latest launch date for the Axiom 4 (Ax-4) Mission initiated by Axiom Space. This flight mission to space is planned to launch on Thursday, June 19.
The date of this latest launch was set after NASA, Axiom Space, and SpaceX reviewed various conditions, including the Falcon 9 rocket used to push the aircraft. The rocket has been repaired after experiencing problems some time ago.
The Ax-4 mission was supposed to be launched on June 11. However, because Falcon 9 had a liquid oxygen leak, the three agreed to postpone the launch schedule. This is done so that SpaceX can repair its rocket leakage.
This leak was first detected after SpaceX held a Falcon 9 wet dress rehearsal, precisely after the static fire was carried out. There was no statement whatsoever from SpaceX regarding this leak, but the problem has been resolved quickly.
In addition to the leak in Falcon 9, NASA also reported a leak in the back of the Zvezda module on the International Space Station (ISS), the landing site of the crew of Ax-4. This problem has been fixed by NASA and Roscosmos.
Previously, the pressure in the transfer tunnel seemed to decrease. Once fixed, the pressure looks stable. Although it appears that the problem has been fixed, the flight control team continues to monitor the module and the transfer tunnel.

"It is not uncommon for the space agency and its international partners to adjust the launch around changes in operations at the space station. The team is making progress in evaluating the transfer tunnel configuration," NASA said, quoted on Monday, June 16.
The Ax-4 mission is a commercial flight with the aim of observation. On this flight, there were four crew members who participated and came from different space agencies.
There are former NASA astronautget Whitson who is leading the mission, Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) Astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla who is a pilot, and Project Astronaut of the European Space Agency (ESA) Smailawosz Uznamenski-Wimeniewski and Tibor Kapu who are mission specialists.
