NASA says the astronauts stuck on the International Space Station will have to wait even longer to get home.
Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams were due to be back after just a week when they blasted off in June.
Their stay was extended to February next year because of technical issues with the experimental spacecraft, Starliner, built by Boeing.
Following another a delay in launching a new capsule to the space station - the pair won't be back until late March or possibly April.
NASA said the delay posed no risk to the astronauts.
In a statement, NASA said the International Space Station received two re-supply flights in November and is well-stocked with everything the crew needs, including food, water, clothing, and oxygen.
The re-supply spacecraft also carried special items for the crew to celebrate the holidays aboard the orbital platform.
