NASA and SpaceX delay Crew-13 after Dragon leak
NASA and SpaceX postponed the Crew-13 launch to the International Space Station after an oxidizer leak was found on Dragon's propulsion system during standard prelaunch processing. The mission had been targeted for September 12, 2026 from Cape Canaveral's Space Launch Complex 40, carrying NASA's Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney, CSA's Joshua Kutryk and Roscosmos's Sergey Teteryatnikov. Joint teams are running extra tests and data review, and a new target date will be set once any needed rework is done.
