According to Fast Technology on March 13, this morning, due to problems with the hydraulic system used to fix the Falcon 9 rocket on the launch pad, SpaceX "Falcon 9" rocket announced the cancellation of the mission at the last moment before launch.

According to information released by the US Space Exploration Technology Corporation on its official website on March 13 local time, the next launch time will be no earlier than 7:03 pm Eastern Time on March 14, and the other backup launch period will be 6:41 pm on March 15.

It is understood that according to the original plan, SpaceX will launch the Falcon 9 rocket into the air this morning and send the Dragon spacecraft and four astronauts to the International Space Station.

Within a week after the mission is completed, the Dragon spacecraft will return to Earth and receive two American astronauts, Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, who have been stranded on the space station for more than nine months.

However, due to the Falcon 9 rocket, it failed again before launch, and the stranded astronauts could only be forced to stay in the space station for a longer period of time.

Currently, the photos of female astronaut Williams on the International Space Station have shown obvious weight loss, with obvious dark circles, and people are also worried about her health.

It is reported that on June 5 last year, Williams and Wilmore took a Boeing Star Aircraft spacecraft to the International Space Station for an eight-day short-term business trip.

However, due to the spacecraft's thruster failure and helium leakage problems, and the failure could not be repaired for a long time, the two astronauts were forced to stay on the International Space Station, waiting to return to Earth on the subsequent launch of the spacecraft.

According to NASA's previous plan, SpaceX's manned Dragon spacecraft will be launched in September last year and return in February this year.

But SpaceX has since announced that due to the delay in the construction of the manned Dragon spacecraft "C213", the subsequent launch, the launch time was forced to be postponed to one month to March 25.

However, in order to be able to pick up astronauts in advance, NASA and SpaceX decided to replace "C213" with SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft "Endurance" (C210), which was used for the Crew-7 mission that returned to Earth in March last year.
