Takeoff was slated for Wednesday evening from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, but the company waived off the launch attempt because of an issue with the launchpad’s ground system. The problem stemmed from a hydraulics system used to control one of two clamps that hold on to the upper portion of the rocket as it sits vertically on the ground pad before launch.

NASA and SpaceX on Wednesday delayed the launch of a replacement crew of four astronauts to the International Space Station that would have set in motion the long-awaited homecoming of U.S. astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams.
