Axiom-4 Mission Launch Scrubbed as SpaceX Detects Leak in Falcon 9 Rocket

  • SpaceX and Axiom Space postponed the Axiom-4 mission launch at Kennedy Space Center on June 11, 2025, after discovering a leak involving liquid oxygen in the Falcon 9 vehicle.
  • The launch cancellation followed a high-wind scrub on June 10 and detection of the LOx leak during static-fire testing on June 8, which teams were troubleshooting.
  • The mission planned a 14-day stay at the ISS for four astronauts from India, Poland, and Hungary, commanding about 60 experiments focused on human research and Earth observation.
  • SpaceX announced it is postponing the Falcon 9 launch to address a liquid oxygen leak discovered during booster inspections after the static fire test and will provide an updated launch schedule once the issue is resolved.
  • This delay marks the second Axiom-4 launch postponement and underscores ongoing technical challenges as Axiom pursues future private ISS missions and commercial space station development.
