Russian Soyuz on its way to ISS after being delayed due to electrical issue

A trio of crew members are on their way to the International Space Station on board a Soyuz spacecraft following a rescheduled launch spurred by an electrical issue. The Russian Soyuz MS-25 was originally supposed to launch on Thursday, March 21, but the launch was scrubbed at the last minute due to a problem with the launch vehicle.

The previously planned launch on Thursday was called off just 20 seconds before liftoff, with Russian space agency Roscosmos announcing that the issue was due to a low voltage reading in the rocket’s electrical system. Although there have been issues with Soyuz spacecraft leaking at the ISS recently, it is very rare for an issue with one of these rockets to require a launch postponement.

Related The crew members, NASA astronaut Tracy C. Dyson, Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy, and spaceflight participant Marina Vasilevskaya of Belarus, will now arrive at the ISS around 11:09 a.m. ET on Monday, March 25, which is four days after their originally scheduled arrival time.
