The mission to return two stranded astronauts to Earth has been delayed again. The launch of the Falcon 9 rocket used in the joint mission by NASA and SpaceX has been postponed due to a hydraulic problem.

Although the launch was scheduled to take place from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, one of the rocket's arms developed a mechanical problem. Engineers are working to resolve the problem, but a new launch date has not been set. However, the BBC reported that there is a possibility of another launch on Thursday. The mission was intended to send four new crew members to the International Space Station (ISS) and return Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore to Earth on the return journey.



Two astronauts who arrived at the ISS in June aboard the Boeing Starliner spacecraft were unable to safely return to Earth after a thruster failure. Despite an eight-day mission, they have been stuck at the space station for more than nine months, where they have been assisting with various scientific research and maintenance tasks. If SpaceX's mission is successful, Williams and Wilmore could have returned to Earth within days.

However, concerns arose about whether the rocket's arms would open properly during launch, forcing the mission to be postponed. SpaceX has not yet announced whether the problems have been resolved. However, the hope of the astronauts' return is still alive, with the possibility of a subsequent launch.
