NASA and SpaceX said that the weather conditions were analyzed at a meeting of experts from the US room trip authority NASA and the private space company SpaceX by Tech billionaire Elon Musk.
The night of Tuesday was the best time for the return flight. It is currently planned that the “Crew 9” will leave the ISS at 6.05 a.m. Central European time on Tuesday. Shortly before 11 p.m., her capsule should land in the sea off the coast of the US state Florida. This planning could also be postponed at short notice for a variety of reasons. Wednesday was originally targeted as a day of return.
“Crew 10” replaces “Crew 9”
At the weekend, a space capsule with the new ISS crew had reached the outpost of humanity. The SpaceX spaceship “Crew Dragon” docked almost 420 kilometers above the Atlantic at the space station on Sunday at 5.04 a.m. CET. NASA live images from the maneuver showed how the crew of the ISS and the newcomers hugged as a greeting.
