Earlier, on June 14, ISRO had announced that the mission will launch on June 19, 2025. But later in the day, the date was withdrawn, and ISRO said the next launch date will soon be announced.The launch was initially targeted for May 29, but was deferred to June 8, 2025, because of the observations in the electrical harness in the Crew Dragon Module. The launch was then postponed to June 9 because of the delay in the preparedness of the Falcon-9 vehicle. The mission was the postponed to June 10 due to poor weather conditions at NASA’s Kennedy Space Centre in Florida.Additionally, during inspections and hot fire tests that were conducted on June 8, the team had observed an oxygen leak in the engine bay. Anomalies in one of the engine’s actuators were also observed. The launch was then rescheduled to June 11, anticipating that the issues would be addressed.On June 11, NASA and ISRO flagged their concern to Roscosmos- Russia’s Space Agency, to evaluate the new pressure signature in the Zvezda Service Module in the ISS due to the air leak. During discussions, ISRO had recommended to Axiom Space, NASA and SpaceX to carry out in-situ repairs or replacements and conduct a low temperature leak test to validate the performance of the system before going ahead with the launch.
