MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Starliner launched on June 5 and docked with the International Space Station (ISS) the next day. Wilmore and Williams planned to return to Earth after eight days, but thruster issues and helium leaks delayed the Starliner's undocking, raising safety concerns and requiring them to stay longer on the ISS.

The Crew-10 spaceship will go to the ISS in March 2025 and will bring the Starliner crew back to Earth, NASA has said.

"NASA's SpaceX Crew-10 now is targeting no earlier than late March 2025 to launch four crew members to the International Space Station. The change gives NASA and SpaceX teams time to complete processing on a new Dragon spacecraft for the mission," the US space agency said on Tuesday.
