NASA's astronauts Sunita Williams, Butch Willmore, Nick Hague, and Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov have safely returned to Earth after a challenging nine-month mission on the ISS. They splashed down off Florida's coast, greeted by a recovery team. Williams and Willmore displayed joy as they emerged from the capsule, followed by medical assessments. After months of being away, they hope to return to their families soon. NASA credited President Trump for expediting their return, highlighting collaborative efforts that enhance space exploration and technology advancement.
We are thrilled to have Suni, Butch, Nick, and Aleksandr home after their months-long mission conducting vital science, technology demonstrations, and maintenance aboard the International Space Station.
Per President Trump's direction, NASA and SpaceX worked diligently to pull the schedule a month earlier. This international crew and our teams on the ground embraced the challenge of an updated mission plan.
Through preparation, ingenuity, and dedication, we achieve great things together for the benefit of humanity, pushing the boundaries of what is possible from low Earth orbit.
