Private Astronaut Mission Axiom-3 Launch Delayed to January 17

SpaceX's launch of Axiom Space's Ax-3 mission, the third private astronaut mission to the International Space Station, has been delayed from January 9 to January 17 due to unfavorable weather conditions and changes in SpaceX's launch manifest. The mission will be commanded by former NASA astronaut Michael López-Alegría and will send four people to the ISS in a Dragon capsule. This delay follows a series of weather-related delays for SpaceX launches from Florida's Space Coast.
