NASA cited adverse weather conditions.

The US space agency NASA announced on Sunday that the return of four astronauts from the International Space Station to Earth has been postponed again due to bad weather conditions.

Crew 8 was originally scheduled to launch on Sunday morning with American astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt and Janet Epps and Russian Alexander Grebenkin on board. However, unfavorable weather forecasts do not allow the capsule to land in the sea off the coast of Florida.

The astronaut team was supposed to return earlier this week aboard the Crew Dragon spacecraft of the private space exploration company SpaceX. The launch was then postponed due to Hurricane Milton. On Monday, NASA and SpaceX will discuss the next potential launch date.
