Once its there, NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams will finally get a safe ride back home to Earth after being stranded aboard the ISS for nine months. Their Boeing Starliner mission that launched to the ISS on June 5th, 2024, was only supposed to last eight days, but issues like thruster failures and helium leaks made it unsafe to return to Earth using Starliner.
The astronauts will now return on the Crew-9 capsule, tentatively scheduled for March 19th, along with two astronauts from that mission.
