NASA cut two astronauts for the next SpaceX mission in order to return two astronauts who are stuck at the International Space Station, the agency announced Friday.
The space agency said in a news release that astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos astronaut and mission specialist Aleksandr Gorbunov will head into space as a part of the SpaceX Crew-9 mission in late September.
NASA astronauts Zena Cardman and Stephanie Wilson, who were set to accompany them on the mission, will not be on the spaceflight.
