Summary
Oct. 1 is the new launch date for Sergey Teteryatnikov’s trip to the ISS aboard SpaceX’s Crew Dragon, with liftoff set for 18:10 Moscow time from Cape Canaveral.
The four-person Crew-13 mission also includes NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney and CSA astronaut Joshua Coutrick; the crew is already in quarantine and due at Kennedy Space Center on Sept. 26.
A 19-day delay pushed the mission back from Sept. 12 after an oxidizer leak was found in Dragon’s propulsion system, according to an earlier mission update.
The flight continues a July 2022 Roscosmos-NASA cross-flight agreement; Anna Kikina became the first Russian cosmonaut to reach the ISS on Crew Dragon with Crew-5 in October 2022.
