Terry Virts, Samantha Cristoforetti and Anton Shkaplerov had been scheduled to depart the International Space Station on Wednesday (May 13), but instead will wait until at least early June. The delay, which has also put off the next crewed launch to late July, comes as a result of the loss of Russia’s Progress M-27M cargo spacecraft and the investigation into that failure.
