13th is tomorrow. Hope they can get it fixed by then.

 

[Sneakers]

The way I read this, their first available window is the 13th, 19:26, no earlier.

The next available launch opportunity is no earlier than 7:26 p.m. EDT Thursday, March 13, from Launch Complex 39A at NASA Kennedy pending review of the issue. Launch coverage will begin at 3:25 p.m. on NASA+. Docking is targeted at 11:30 p.m. on Friday, March 14. The U.S. Space Force 45th Weather Squadron predicts greater-than-95% favorable forecast for conditions around the launch site. Teams also will monitor weather conditions along the flight path of the Dragon spacecraft.

With a March 13 Crew-10 launch, the Crew-9 mission with NASA astronauts Nick Hague, Suni Williams, and Butch Wilmore, along with Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov, would depart the space station no earlier than 9:05 a.m. Monday, March 17, pending weather at the splashdown locations off the coast of Florida.

NASA and SpaceX have rescheduled the launch for March 15 at 7:03 p.m. EST, pending favorable conditions.

SpaceX Crew-10 Successfully Docks with the International Space Station, Paving Way for Stranded Astronauts' Return After 9 Months | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hᴏft

SpaceX's Crew-10 mission successfully docked with the ISS, enabling the return of two stranded astronauts after nine months. This pivotal event raises questions about political dynamics affecting space missions.

Yay!

I could only stay awake long enough to see the soft dock last night. Watched the crew disembark on 'playback' this morning. So good. Suni was in really good spirits. Bet she has her bags all packed, ready to get out of there.

What’s the weight limit of the ISS? What is the capacity according to the fire marshal?

Yeah, as soon as they announced they were docked and it would be 90 minutes before they opened the hatch, I said good night..and watched this morning.

Not in any hurry I see.

 

[Sneakers]

Those astronauts have some patience. They were strapped in 2 hours before liftoff, all that time in travel, more waiting for the hatch opening...

Can you imagine getting an itch on your ass an hour after being seated?

How long does it take to get back?

 

[Ken King]

How long does it take to get back?

9 Months or so.

 

[RoseRed]

9 Months or so.

Weren't they supposed to be there for 8 days?
