NASA Astronauts Set to Return After Nine-Month Stay on ISS

Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, originally on an eight-day mission, will splash down off Florida's coast on March 18 after delays with Boeing's Starliner.

NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore were stranded on the ISS for nine months due to technical issues with Boeing's Starliner spacecraft.
The duo will return to Earth aboard SpaceX's Dragon capsule alongside Crew-9 members Nick Hague and Aleksandr Gorbunov on March 18.
Their extended mission included contributions to ISS operations, with Williams serving as station commander and both astronauts participating in spacewalks.
The return follows the arrival of SpaceX Crew-10, which temporarily brought the ISS crew count to 11 before Crew-9's departure.
NASA has yet to confirm the timeline for Boeing's Starliner to conduct another crewed test flight after its reliability issues.
