CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA’s two stuck astronauts just got their space mission extended again. That means they won’t be back until spring, 10 months after rocketing into orbit on Boeing’s Starliner capsule.
NASA said Tuesday that a fresh crew needs to launch from Florida before Butch Wilmore and Needham native Suni Williams can return from the International Space Station.
This new crew was supposed to launch in February, but SpaceX needs more time to prepare the brand new capsule for flight. That launch is now scheduled for no earlier than late March.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates as more information becomes available.
