SpaceX Capsule Docks At ISS, Rescue Mission For Stranded Astronauts Sunita Williams & Butch Wilmore Begins
Despite the successful docking of the SpaceX Dragon rescue spacecraft at the International Space Station (ISS), Nasa astronaut Sunita Williams will not be returning to Earth immediately.
The rescue mission, which arrived on September 29, 2024, was launched to address the unexpected extension of Williams’ stay in space due to issues with Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft.
Williams, along with fellow astronaut Butch Wilmore, was originally scheduled to return to Earth after a brief stay on the ISS as part of Boeing’s first crewed Starliner flight.
