MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Crew Dragon spaceship, named Resilience, with four astronauts on board will return to Earth on May 1 – several days later than it was planned, NASA press office said on Tuesday.

Although the spacecraft's landing was scheduled for 28 April, it had to be postponed due to the forecasted bad weather in the landing area.

"NASA's SpaceX Crew-1 mission with NASA astronauts Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover, and Shannon Walker, and Soichi Noguchi of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) is now targeting a return to Earth at 11:36 a.m. EDT Saturday, 1 May, in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Florida", the statement said.
