NASA Delays Crew‑13 Launch Over Dragon Oxidizer Leak

NASA and SpaceX have postponed the Crew‑13 launch after detecting an oxidizer leak in the Dragon spacecraft’s propulsion system during pre‑launch preparations. The four‑person crew, bound for the International Space Station, will not depart until engineers resolve the issue. The leak was discovered while the vehicle was being readied for flight, prompting an immediate halt to the launch schedule. Investigators are examining the propulsion system to determine the cause and ensure the spacecraft’s safety before the next launch attempt.
