SpaceX aborts delivery to space station

Cape Canaveral: A navigation error forced SpaceX to delay its shipment to the International Space Station on Wednesday, following an otherwise flawless flight from Nasa’s historic moon pad.

SpaceX’s supply ship, the Dragon, was less than a mile from the orbiting outpost when a problem cropped up in the GPS system.

The approach was aborted, and the Dragon backed away. Nasa said neither the station nor its six-person crew was in any danger.
