SpaceX is preparing to launch the Crew-10 mission to rescue U.S. astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams from the International Space Station.
Originally tasked with the mission, Boeing's Starliner aircraft faced technical issues preventing the astronauts from returning home.
The launch, delayed due to a ground system problem, is now set for today at 7:03 p.m. ET, with a backup opportunity tomorrow at 6:41 p.m.
The Dragon spacecraft, previously used for other missions, will be launched, aiming not only to bring the astronauts home but also to conduct research for future human exploration.
