NASA astronauts Sunita "Suni" Williams and Barry "Butch" Wilmore have reached their six-month milestone of being stranded on the International Space Station, despite initially planning to stay for just eight days.

The crew launched to the ISS in June for a week-long mission but will end up spending an unplanned nine months in space.

The two NASA astronauts "not stranded" on the International Space Station (ISS) are "not stranded" for another month. Due to a delay in the next crew rotation mission, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams will remain on the station until late March.

Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, who initially left for space on an eight-day mission, have been stuck in the International Space Station since June, due to faults on the Boeing Starliner spacecraft that carried them there.

The space agency is looking to maintain human presence in the microgravity environment as it transitions to commercial stations.

The delay means what should have been an eight-day stay on the International Space Station for Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore will now be at least nine months.
