The Crew-10 mission began with a successful launch of the Falcon 9 rocket carrying four astronauts to the International Space Station. This mission is particularly significant as it marks the return home for NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams after their lengthy nine-month stay. The crew launched on Friday evening after an earlier attempt was postponed due to a hydraulic issue. Upon docking with the station on Saturday, Crew-10 will engage in a handover with Crew-9, facilitating their return to Earth shortly thereafter.
Friday's launch marked the beginning of the Crew-10 mission to the International Space Station, enabling NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to return home after nine months.
