NASA and SpaceX supported on Wednesday that they’re targeting November 14 to its introduction of the Crew-1 assignment that will take four astronauts to the International Space Station.

Initially scheduled to start on Halloween, NASA postponed the launch following a motor problem aborted an October 2 launch effort of a Falcon 9 competition, in T-2 minutes after taking out a GPS III satellite to the US Air Force.

During a teleconference with reporters on Wednesday, SpaceX’s Hans Koenigsmann clarified what occurred with the October two launch abort and that which was done to tackle the problem moving forward.
