Aug. 7 (UPI) -- SpaceX and NASA delayed the return of Crew-10 astronauts to Earth that was originally scheduled to begin on Thursday afternoon.
The Crew-10's Dragon capsule, Endurance, will undock at 6:05 p.m. EDT on Friday for a 17.5-hour journey and is scheduled to splash down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California at 11:33 a.m. Saturday.
The crew was initially set to begin its return from ISS on Thursday at 12:05 p.m. EDT but the departure was delayed due to weather in the splashdown area.
"Due to high winds at the splashdown sites off the coast of California, Dragon is standing down from today's undocking from the Space Station," SpaceX said in a post on X. "The spacecraft and Crew-10 crew remain healthy, and teams will continue to monitor weather conditions for the next available undocking opportunity."
