NASA has delayed the launch of an upcoming SpaceX mission to the International Space Station because of a "minor” medical issue affecting one of the crew.

The launch, first scheduled for Sunday but then delayed until Wednesday because of unsuitable weather, has now been shifted to Saturday at the earliest, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said on its website.
