NASA and SpaceX were on track to launch NASA's Crew-10 astronauts to the Space Station Friday night in a mission that will also aim to return Starliner astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore. The mission launch set for 7:03 p.m. EST was a go as of Friday morning after SpaceX ground teams Thursday resolved an air pocket issue in the hydraulics system for the clamp arm supporting the Falcon 9 rocket.
"Crew-10 will rotate roles with NASA's SpaceX Crew-9 crew, including agency astronauts Nick Hague, Suni Williams, and Butch Wilmore, along with Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov. The Crew-9 mission, which has a separate Dragon spacecraft already docked to the space station, will then undock from the orbiting laboratory and return to the Earth. Crew-9 undock is scheduled for no earlier than Wednesday, March 19," NASA said.
