Yes, another delay due to weather. This time it’s the International Space Station crew returning to Earth. The SpaceX Crew-8 was supposed to return yesterday (after being delayed from October 7 because of Hurricane Milton), but it has been delayed until Friday due to ongoing weather issues in Florida. The returning crew consists of NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Mike Barratt, and Jeanette Epps, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin, who have been on the station since March.
Scheduling anything in Florida during hurricane season is questionable, but at least the Europa Clipper mission was able to get into the air quickly after the latest hurricane.
Update: The return of Crew-8 has been delayed again until Monday, October 21.
Second Update: The return date has been moved once more to Wednesday, October 23.
