The much-anticipated Axiom-4 manned space mission, initially set for launch on May 29, has encountered multiple postponements due to a string of technical challenges and unforeseen circumstances. These include anomalies in the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft's cables, inadequate preparations for the Falcon 9 rocket, unfavorable weather conditions, and a concerning liquid oxygen leak. The mission, which aims to transport four international astronauts, notably including Indian astronaut Sunita Williams, to the International Space Station, has faced significant hurdles. On June 11, NASA announced yet another setback, reporting an anomaly in the pressure levels within the International Space Station's service module. Following meticulous troubleshooting and extensive efforts to address these issues, the mission has been rescheduled for June 19, 2025. This launch signifies a pivotal milestone for India in the realm of international commercial manned spaceflight, underscoring the nation's growing prowess and commitment to space exploration.
