Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>SpaceX, Axiom Space, and NASA are targeting no earlier than Sunday, April 24 at 8:50 p.m. ET (00:50 UTC Monday, April 25) for Dragon and the Ax-1 astronauts to depart from the International Space Station,” SpaceX said on its website.<\/p>\n

According to the company, the delay is due to bad weather conditions. Initially, the company expected the splashdown to occur on April 19, but unfavorable weather conditions off the coast of Florida led to the postponement of the Ax-1 crew’s return.<\/p>\n

The first all commercial crewed Axiom-1 mission to the ISS blasted off from NASA\u2019s Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Florida, on April 8. Initially, the mission was expected to last about 10 days.<\/p>\n

Axiom Ax-1 crew members, Commander Michael Lopez-Alegria of the United States and Spain, pilot Larry Connor of the United States, mission specialist Eytan Stibbe of Israel and mission specialist Mark Pathy of Canada successfully launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket aboard the Dragon Endeavour spacecraft on its third flight to the ISS. The reusable Falcon 9 first stage made a successful soft landing back on Earth.<\/p>\n
