The date follows a recent postponement that pushed back the original launch window, prompting adjustments to mission timelines. WFTV echoes the Oct. 1 launch slot, and WUSF highlights that the current ISS crew’s stay has been extended to cover the gap.
A Russian news outlet adds that the crew will include cosmonaut Teteryatnikov alongside two Americans and a Canadian for the ISS rendezvous. The delayed launch affects the ISS crew rotation, granting the present astronauts additional time aboard while the relief team completes training and vehicle checks.
Stakeholders will monitor weather conditions at Kennedy Space Center and any further technical reviews before the final countdown. A successful liftoff on Oct. 1 would resume the scheduled rotation and keep the station’s research agenda on track.
