SpaceX postpones return of Turkish astronaut to Earth

SpaceX reported on its page on social network X that it had to postpone the return of the first Turkish astronaut Alper Gezeravci to Earth.

The Dragon spacecraft's return to Earth has been delayed until 5 February due to adverse weather conditions off the coast of Florida, Caliber.Az reports citing the message.

Due to unfavorable recovery conditions off the coast of Florida, we are now targeting no earlier than Monday, February 5 for Dragon and the Ax-3 crew to undock from the @space_station. Teams will continue to monitor weather ahead of the next undocking opportunity
