The space capsule will carry a two-person team to the International Space Station (ISS).
The launch countdown for Boeing’s new Starliner space capsule on its inaugural crewed test flight has been halted, postponing the mission for at least 24 hours.
The postponement was announced during a live NASA webcast on Saturday.
Earlier, launch forecasts had called for a 90 percent chance of favourable weather conditions.
However, less than four minutes prior to liftoff, a ground system computer triggered an automatic abort command that paused the countdown clock, according to mission officials.
The reason for the halt remains unclear.
