Four astronauts were expected to launch from Florida on Wednesday and embark on NASA’s SpaceX Crew-10 mission to the International Space Station.
However, the launch was scrubbed due to a hydraulic ground issue, according to officials.

They will be joined by Takuya Onishi, a mission specialist from Japan, and Kirill Peskov, a cosmonaut from Russia.
During the mission , NASA said the crew would conduct more than 200 experiments.
