NASA accelerates return of astronauts stuck at ISS due to capsule swap
NASA announces a schedule change to bring astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams back to Earth sooner than planned, now targeting March 12.
Overview
NASA plans to expedite the return of astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams from the ISS by swapping the spacecraft for their upcoming Crew-10 mission. Initially expected to return in late March, the astronauts will now be home by mid-March due to the usage of a previously flown SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule. This decision comes after prolonged delays linked to Boeing's Starliner issues and political pressures surrounding the mission. Crew-10, which includes NASA and international astronauts, will launch on March 12 before facilitating the return of Wilmore and Williams along with two others.
