The decision to delay the SpaceX Crew-10 mission to March 2025 forces NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to extend their stay on the ISS, increasing their expected time in space significantly.
NASA's announcement stated the delay allows teams to complete processing on a new Dragon spacecraft for the Crew-10 mission, originally slated for February.
Wilmore and Williams’ extended stay on the ISS, initially planned for ten days since June, has now evolved into an unprecedented wait of eight to nine months due to the failure of Boeing's Starliner.
Boeing’s Starliner suffered multiple issues, including helium leaks and malfunctioning thrusters, forcing NASA to judge the vehicle unsafe for carrying passengers back from the ISS.
