Kochi: Launch of Axiom-4 was called off by SpaceX early Wednesday due to a snag in the Falcon-9 rocket, media reports said.
The SpaceX was confident of fixing the snag before the launch scheduled for 5.30pm on June 11.
The leak of the LOX (liquid oxygen) was identified during post-static fire booster inspections.
The SpaceX had encountered unresolved technical snags during pre-static test fire.
William Gerstenmaier, SpaceX vice-president of build and flight reliability, had said late Monday that during the static fire test of the Falcon-9, SpaceX engineers discovered a liquid oxygen (LOX) leak that had initially gone undetected during the booster’s post-flight refurbishment.
