Space Station Schedule Disrupted by Falcon Heavy Delay

The delay in the Falcon Heavy launch of the ViaSat-3 Americas and Astranis Arcturus satellites from Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center could affect the schedule of flights to the International Space Station, including a private astronaut mission by Axiom Space that was scheduled for early May. NASA is currently reviewing options for a new launch date for the Ax-2 mission, which will carry four private astronauts to the ISS on a Crew Dragon. The agency is in discussions with SpaceX and Axiom Space about a new launch date, which could be announced in the next few days.
