NASA And SpaceX Delay Crew 5 Return Due To Weather

NASA and SpaceX continue to evaluate the weather for the return of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-5 mission from the International Space Station. Teams conducted a weather briefing overnight and decided to waive off the initial undocking opportunity for early Thursday, March 9, due to high winds at the splashdown sites.

Teams are currently targeting undocking for no earlier than Thursday evening, pending weather. The Crew-5 Dragon spacecraft, named Endurance, remains healthy docked to station and is configured for nominal return operations once weather conditions are favorable.
