NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, who arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) in June 2024, are preparing to return home with Crew-9 after spending an unexpected, nine-month stay in space.

A pair of US astronauts stuck for more than nine months on the International Space Station will be returned to Earth on Tuesday evening, NASA said.

The NASA astronauts who crewed the Boeing Starliner could be on their way home sooner than expected due to weather conditions off the Florida coast.
