New Delhi, August 27: SpaceX슬롯사이트™s Polaris Dawn mission aimed to conduct the first-ever 'all-civilian' spacewalk has been delayed over a helium leak, said the Elon-Musk-led company on Tuesday.

The four-member mission was scheduled to launch today. It is now planned for liftoff onboard SpaceX슬롯사이트™s Falcon 9 on Wednesday at 3:38 a.m. ET (1:08슬롯사이트¯pm IST) from Launch Complex 39A at NASA슬롯사이트™s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. 슬롯사이트œTeams are taking a closer look at a ground-side helium leak on the quick disconnect umbilical,슬롯사이트� SpaceX said in a post on X.com.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Elon Musk Says Crew Safety Is Paramount Ahead of the Launch of SpaceX슬롯사이트™s Polaris Dawn Spacecraft to Low-Earth Orbit.

SpaceX Delays Polaris Dawn Launch

슬롯사이트œFalcon and Dragon remain healthy and the crew continues to be ready for their multi-day mission to low-Earth orbit. Next launch opportunity is no earlier than Wednesday, August 28,슬롯사이트� it added. A "quick disconnect umbilical" connects Falcon 9 with a line coming from the launch tower. While Falcon 9's Merlin engines burn kerosene and liquid oxygen as a propellant, SpaceX uses helium to pressurise fuel lines.

Meanwhile, Musk reiterated the safety of the crew, as the mission aims to fly higher than any crewed mission since the Apollo Programme ended in the 1970s. 슬롯사이트œAn incredible amount of work has gone into this historic mission by an amazing team. We are triple-checking everything to make sure there is nothing more we can do to improve crew safety,슬롯사이트� Musk said.

SpaceX had earlier informed that 슬롯사이트œPolaris Dawn and SpaceX completed a full rehearsal of launch슬롯사이트�. It added that the Falcon 9 also completed its 슬롯사이트œstatic fire test슬롯사이트� ahead of the big launch. Musk had also noted that in the case of any troubles, 슬롯사이트œthe launch will be postponed until those concerns are addressed슬롯사이트�.

Polaris Dawn is the first of three planned missions under the Polaris Programme by billionaire Jared Isaacman, who was also the commander of the first "all-civilian" space mission Inspiration4, launched in 2021. Isaacman had purchased three spaceflights with SpaceX, and named the series Polaris Programme.

"The best aerospace engineers in the world are working on the issue, and we promise to put on a great show soon enough!" he posted on X. Besides Isaacman, the crew includes pilot Scott "Kidd" Poteet, mission specialist Sarah Gillis, and medical officer Anna Menon.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천UAE슬롯사이트™s Marlan Space and Loft Orbital Partner in USD 100 Million Joint Venture Backed by Emirati Royal Family To Scale Satellite Production in the Middle East.

During the mission, the crew will perform the first-ever extravehicular activity (EVA) by commercial astronauts, wearing EVA suits developed by SpaceX. They are also expected to perform 36 research studies and experiments from 31 partner institutions designed to advance both human health on Earth and during long-duration spaceflight, and test Starlink laser-based communications in space.
