ISS broke, Falcon 9 cargo launch delayed

Tomorrow’s launch has been postponed to no earlier than Friday at 3:11 a.m. EDT (0711 GMT). A problem with an electrical distribution system on the space station cut one of the two redundant power supplies to the robotic arm. NASA rules require both to be available for any operation, such as docking, that might require the arm.

For the Cargo Dragon, the arm is required for berthing the capsule.
