NASA's 2 stuck astronauts face more time in space with return delayed until at least late March

NASA astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O'Hara, along with ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen and JAXA astronaut Satoshi Furukawa, are facing an extended stay on the International Space Station (ISS) due to delays in their return. Originally scheduled to return in February, their departure has been postponed to at least late March because of technical issues with the Soyuz MS-24 spacecraft, which was supposed to bring them back to Earth. The spacecraft experienced a coolant leak, prompting concerns about its safety for re-entry. As a result, a replacement Soyuz spacecraft, MS-25, is being prepared for launch to ensure the crew's safe return. Meanwhile, the astronauts continue their scientific research and maintenance work aboard the ISS, adapting to the unforeseen extension of their mission.
