SpaceX’s Crew-10 mission to the International Space Station (ISS) has hit a delay. Originally set to launch earlier this week, the NASA SpaceX Crew-10 launch delayed due to technical issues. If you’re eager to watch the next attempt, we’ve got you covered with the latest updates.
Why Was the NASA SpaceX Crew-10 Launch Delayed?
NASA and SpaceX had to pause the Crew-10 launch because of a hydraulic issue with the Falcon 9 rocket’s launch pad clamp arm. Safety is always the top priority, and engineers are working to resolve the problem before the next liftoff attempt.
New Launch Date & Time for NASA SpaceX Crew-10
The new target launch date is Thursday, March 14, 2025, pending final checks and weather conditions. The launch window is expected to open at 10:30 PM ET. However, always check for last-minute updates from NASA and SpaceX.
Who’s Aboard NASA SpaceX Crew-10?
This mission includes four astronauts:
- Anne McClain (Commander) – NASA
- Nichole Ayers (Co-Pilot) – NASA
- Takuya Onishi (Mission Specialist) – JAXA (Japan)
- Kirill Peskov (Mission Specialist) – Roscosmos (Russia)
They will spend six months aboard the ISS, conducting research and maintenance tasks.
How to Watch the NASA SpaceX Crew-10 Launch Live

Why the SpaceX Crew-10 Mission Matters
Crew-10’s arrival at the ISS is crucial for continuing space research. The mission will also help return NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, who have been on the ISS for an extended stay due to Boeing’s Starliner delays.
What Happens Next ?
Once launched, Crew-10 will travel for about 24 hours before docking with the ISS. The team will replace Crew-9, who will return to Earth shortly after.
If weather or technical issues cause another delay, NASA and SpaceX will announce an updated launch time. Stay tuned for the latest updates!
