NASA statement:

NASA and SpaceX are standing down from Thursday’s undocking opportunity of Dragon, filled with science, from the International Space Station. Mission teams will continue to review weather conditions off the coast of California, which currently are not favorable for splashdown operations, and set a new target opportunity for the return of SpaceX’s 32nd commercial resupply services mission for NASA.

The next weather review is planned for 12 p.m. EDT, with the next available undocking opportunity on Friday, May 23. NASA will provide additional information on the next undocking opportunity as available.
