Live Updates: Sunita Williams Heads Back To Earth After Nine Months
Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, two astronauts stuck at the International Space Station for more than nine months, began their return journey to Earth on Tuesday.
Astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, who were stuck at the International Space Station (ISS) for more than nine months, began their return journey on Tuesday. According to NASA, Williams and Wilmore undocked from the ISS at 10:35 am IST and set on a 17-hour trip back to Earth.
The spacecraft, Elon Musk-led SpaceX's Dragon, will splash down off the coast of the American state of Florida around 3:27 am IST Wednesday.
The two astronauts flew to the orbital lab in June last year, on what was supposed to be a days-long roundtrip to test Boeing's Starliner on its first crewed flight. The spaceship, however, developed propulsion problems and was deemed unfit to fly them back and instead returned empty.
