Stranded NASA astronauts' return date is changed AGAIN
81% Informative
Astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore are due back from the International Space Station (ISS) on March 16 .
Their original eight-day mission was delayed due to technical issues with their faulty Boeing spacecraft.
Williams and Wilmore plan to return to Earth inside a SpaceX spacecraft that is already docked to the ISS .
But they can't leave until a different SpaceX mission brings a new team of astronauts to the space station to replace them.
That mission, called Crew-10 , will launch on March 12 and the pair will leave on March 13 .
But this time, NASA has decided to shorten the handover period to just two days to conserve food on board the ISS and open up more.
If the launch goes according to plan, the Crew-10 Dragon capsule should dock to the ISS at 10am ET on Thursday, March 13 .
Once the astronauts board the space station, they will begin their shortened, two-day handover period with Crew-9 .
The earliest undocking opportunity for the crew-9 Dragon capsule will be March 16 .
