The head of the Russian space agency, Yuri Borisov, said the aborted launch was triggered by a voltage drop in a power source. The three astronauts join the station’s crew consisting of NASA astronauts Loral O’Hara, Matthew Dominick, Mike Barratt, and Jeanette Epps, as well as Russians Oleg Kononenko, Nikolai Chub, and Alexander Grebenkin.The space station, which has served as a symbol of post-Cold War international cooperation, is now one of the last remaining areas ofamid tensions over Moscow’s military action in Ukraine. NASA and its partners hope to continue operating the orbiting outpost until 2030.
