NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams have returned to Earth after an extended mission lasting over nine months on the International Space Station. Originally intended to last a week, the return was delayed due to Boeing Starliner issues. Following their landing off Florida's coast, they began a 45-day recovery program involving medical assessments and physical training to restore their pre-mission health. The mission highlights NASA's preparedness for unanticipated extensions, including a comprehensive health support system for astronauts during and post-mission.
NASA astronaut Wilmore stated, “Completing a long-duration mission is a testament to our training and the support of the teams on Earth.”
NASA emphasized, “A structured reconditioning program ensures that astronauts regain their health and fitness post-mission.”
