Doctors are raising fresh concerns about the health of NASA 's two stranded astronauts who were dealt a major blow last night .

The space agency once again delayed the return of Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore until late March at the earliest, stretching their mission to over nine months .

Williams and Wilmore were only meant to spent eight days aboard the International Space Station when they launched on Boeing 's faulty Starliner spacecraft on June 5 .

Now, their names could be added to the short list of NASA astronauts who have spent over 300 days in space.

Jaquish believes Williams and Wilmore have been well-prepared for this kind of scenario, as NASA 'does a very good job of contingency preparation' The Starliner crew is at risk of weight loss, muscle atrophy, cardiovascular issues, sleep deprivation and hormonal changes, particularly to insulin and the stress hormone cortisol.
