NASA has announced that astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore will return from the International Space Station a day earlier than planned, now scheduled to splash down off Florida's coast at 5:57 PM ET. Their return follows a nine-month mission, alongside NASA's Nick Hague and astronaut Aleksandr Gorbunov from Russia. Wilmore's daughter Daryn has shared emotional updates about her father’s return, including a hopeful TikTok video related to the family’s excitement. NASA plans to stream the return process to engage viewers throughout the splashdown preparations.
NASA has changed the return date for its stranded astronauts yet again - and they're coming home slightly sooner than expected.
The plan is for Williams and Wilmore to return inside SpaceX's Crew-9 Dragon capsule that is already docked to the ISS.
