Two Nasa astronauts who have been stuck in space for over two months will be returning to Earth in a SpaceX capsule next year.
The American space agency has said Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore - who are on the International Space Station (ISS) - will not return to Earth until February 2025.
The pair took off on what was planned to be an eight-day mission on 5 June but will now spend around eight months in orbit.
Astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry 'Butch' Wilmore have been unable to get home because of a problem with the Boeing Starliner spacecraft.
You can follow Nasa's announcement about its plan to bring two American astronauts stuck in space back to Earth by watching the stream at the top of this page.
It was the first time Boeing's Starliner, which came through a long and tortuous development programme, had been entrusted to carry people.
We've made this graphic showing how the Starliner is built for up to seven astronauts to ride on board:
