NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore have returned to Earth after a prolonged 286-day stay at the International Space Station (ISS). Their return was facilitated by SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft, which also carried Crew 10 astronauts. Initially stranded since June 2024 due to issues with Boeing's Starliner, the duo experienced significant delays, including helium leaks that postponed their return. They traveled 121 million miles and completed 4,576 orbits around Earth during their unexpected mission. NASA's Acting Administrator highlighted the collaboration that made their early return possible.
