ORLANDO, Fla. - NASA and SpaceX have delayed the undocking of Crew-8 from the International Space Station on Sunday due to unfavorable weather conditions. 

A new undocking date has not yet been announced.

NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, Jeanette Epps, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin are wrapping up a seven-month science mission aboard the station, bringing back crucial and time-sensitive research to Earth.

Mission managers are closely monitoring weather conditions, as the timing of Dragon’s undocking depends on factors such as spacecraft readiness, recovery team preparedness, weather, and sea states. NASA will finalize a splashdown time and location as the undocking date approaches.
