NASA announced the postponement of the Crew Dragon launch with a Russian cosmonaut on March 14.

The launch of the Crew Dragon spacecraft with Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov to the International Space Station (ISS) has been postponed to March 14. The corresponding statement was published on the website of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on March 12.

"The mission leaders met this evening and decided to cancel the launch attempt scheduled for March 13 due to strong winds and precipitation forecast on the Dragon flight path," the statement said.

The launch broadcast will begin at 15:00 local time (22:00 Moscow time). Docking with the ISS is scheduled for March 15.

It is noted that the troubleshooting of the hydraulic system of the ship's attachment to the Falcon 9 rocket is also underway, due to which the launch was postponed on March 12. All four Crew Dragon crew members, including Peskov, remain in an apartment complex at the NASA base in Florida.

On the same day, NASA already postponed the launch of Crew Dragon, scheduled for March 12, due to problems with the hydraulic attachment system of the ship with the Falcon 9 rocket. It was reported that the next launch opportunity may appear on March 13. The fact that Russian cosmonaut Peskov will fly to the ISS on the Crew Dragon spacecraft became known in February. NASA clarified that the Crew-10 mission also includes astronauts Ann McClain, Nicole Ayers, and Takuya Onishi from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
