SpaceX Cargo Dragon Launches to ISS Amid Soyuz Launch Delay

A SpaceX Cargo Dragon successfully launched to the ISS, hours after a rare abort of a Russian Soyuz spacecraft launch due to technical issues.

The CRS-30 mission marked the first ISS cargo mission launch from Space Launch Complex 40 since a new crew access tower was completed.
A rare last-minute abort halted the Soyuz MS-25 launch to the ISS, marking the first time a crewed Soyuz mission was aborted in the final countdown phases.
The Soyuz scrub was attributed to a low voltage reading in the rocket's electrical system, with the next launch opportunity scheduled for March 23.
The Cargo Dragon is carrying over 2,800 kilograms of supplies, including science experiments, crew supplies, and station hardware, and is scheduled to dock with the ISS on March 23.
SpaceX has built a new tower at SLC-40, nearly identical to LC-39A, allowing for late cargo loading and potential future crewed missions.
