Sharing a post on X, Musk wrote “Ground side liquid oxygen leak needs to be fixed. Aiming for another launch attempt tomorrow.” Interestingly, this is not the first time that a SpaceX launch has been delayed due to liquid oxygen leak. Its Falcon 9 rocket, part of the AX-4 launch in collaboration with NASA and Axiom Space, was also delayed due to propellant leaks in June this year.SpaceX has now rescheduled launch on August 25 at 6:30 p.m. CT.
