SpaceX's Crew-10 mission launched successfully, carrying NASA astronauts Anne McClain, Nichole Ayers, JAXA's Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos's Kirill Peskov to the ISS. Their arrival will allow previously stranded astronaut duo, Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, to return home after an unexpected nine-month stay. Initially, the two were supposed to return on the Boeing Starliner's first crewed flight; however, it encountered serious malfunctions and returned uncrewed in September. After a delay, Crew-10's launch enables the anticipated homeward journey for these astronauts, with return planned for March 19.
NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore's nine-month absence on the ISS, originally intended for just a week, highlights the unpredictable challenges of space missions.
Crew-10's successful launch allows new astronauts to join the ISS, paving the way for Williams and Wilmore's return to Earth after an extended stay.
