A SpaceX Dragon spacecraft docked with the International Space Station at 1:35 a.m., allowing astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore to finally return to Earth. Their extended mission, initially a short test flight for the Boeing Starliner, lasted nine months due to delays. Despite the prolonged stay, they conducted experiments in microgravity and engaged with the public, sharing their experiences. The Crew-10 mission now prepares to take over the astronauts' duties, marking an important transition for ISS operations.
"It's been an extended stay for us doing research and experiments, and we're excited to finally pass the baton to the new crew members."
"Even though it's been nine months, this experience has taught us to appreciate every moment, and we're eager to share what we've learned back on Earth."
