SpaceX and the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) canceled the launch of Dragon's sixth operational human spaceflight mission (Crew-6) to the International Space Station (ISS) from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Monday.

The ground crew reported a fuel issue 5 minutes before takeoff, with the final decision to scrub or cancel the mission made 2.5 minutes later. The next launch attempt will not take place until Friday at the earliest.

The international mission includes two NASA astronauts, a Russian cosmonaut, and an astronaut from the United Arab Emirates who are expected to conduct over 200 science experiments and technology demonstrations at the ISS.
