How did the malfunctions of the Boeing Starliner and the initial SpaceX vehicle impact the astronauts' original mission parameters and timeline?

The extended mission, initially caused by the Starliner's malfunctions (helium leaks, thruster failures, valve issues), forced the astronauts to remain aboard the ISS until a replacement SpaceX vehicle arrived. Their prolonged stay enabled them to complete experiments and spacewalks; however, it also led to further delays due to additional issues with the SpaceX rocket scheduled for their return. This demonstrates the inherent risks and unforeseen delays in complex space missions.",

How did the technical problems with the Starliner impact the mission timeline and the overall cost?

The change in return date is due to switching Crew 10 to a different Crew Dragon spacecraft, enabling an earlier launch. This affects the timeline of both missions, shortening the extended Starliner mission by roughly two weeks. The decision to use Crew Dragon resolves safety concerns around the Starliner's issues.

What caused the change in the return date for astronauts Wilmore and Williams from the ISS, and what are the immediate consequences?

NASA announced that astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, whose extended stay aboard the ISS resulted from Boeing Starliner's delayed return, will return to Earth a couple of weeks earlier than initially planned, sometime in mid-March. This adjustment is due to a revised launch schedule for SpaceX's Crew-10 mission, now set for March 12th, enabling their return via Crew Dragon Endurance. The earlier return avoids further delays caused by necessary repairs and testing on the original Starliner capsule.

Why was the mission extended significantly beyond the initial eight-day plan?

Wilmore and Williams' extended stay was due to initial propulsion system issues with the Boeing Starliner. To minimize disruption to ISS operations, NASA integrated them into the subsequent Crew 9 mission, extending their stay to 286 days. The return was expedited to capitalize on favorable weather conditions for splashdown.
