An issue with the Falcon 9 rocket's engine ignition system prompted the postponement.
In Florida, a SpaceX readied a Crew Dragon capsule for launch early Monday to carry another four-man crew to the outpost.
The Soyuz MS-23 spacecraft will provide a safe ride home for three space station fliers whose ship was damaged by a micrometeoroid impact.
NASA is poised to launch four fresh crew members to the station while Russia plans to launch a replacement Soyuz ferry ship
Two months after a Soyuz crew ship was damaged by a micrometeoroid, a Russian cargo ship suffered a similar problem.
Spacewalks in low-Earth orbit face a small but very real threat from debris and and micrometeoroids whizzing by at extreme velocities.
The crew of the damaged Soyuz MS-22 will spend several extra months in space and return to Earth in a replacement ship.
The new roll-out solar arrays will help make up for age-related degradation in the International Space Station's original solar wings.
The Russians say a replacement Soyuz can be launched if one suffering from a coolant leak is unflightworthy.
The Russian Soyuz crew ferry ship docked at the International Space Station remains relatively healthy despite a major coolant system leak.
It's not yet known what caused the leak, or whether the Soyuz is still flight worthy.
Josh Cassada and Frank Rubio float outside the space station to install the third of six new roll-out solar blankets.
The Cargo Dragon is loaded with 7,700 pounds of equipment and supplies, including two new solar array panels.
With the Crew Dragon's splashdown, NASA completed a complex sequence of flights to replace the station's seven-member crew.
The Crew Dragon brought four fresh crew members to the lab complex, including a Russian cosmonaut.
The Crew 5 flight to the ISS features the first Russian to launch aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft.
The return of the Soyuz crew sets the stage for a SpaceX Crew Dragon launch next week.
Frank Rubio's Soyuz launch is NASA's first under an agreement that also calls for cosmonaut launches on SpaceX ferry ships.
SpaceX's 25th space station resupply mission delivered 5,880 pounds of crew supplies, science gear and equipment.
The 'integrated crews' agreement means a Russian cosmonaut will fly on a SpaceX Crew Dragon in September.
The unpiloted Dragon cargo ship is carrying nearly 3 tons of crew supplies, science gear and equipment.
SpaceX launched 59 small payloads while Boeing wrapped up its Starliner space station flight
For the first time, two U.S. astronaut ferry ships, from two different vendors are docked at space station.
Grounded earlier by software bugs and corroded valves, Boeing says the Starliner is finally ready for flight.
NASA is confident Boeing's Starliner astronaut ferry ship is finally ready for prime time.
