SpaceX Crew Dragon arrives at ISS to rescue stranded NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore
SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule has arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) to rescue NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, who have been stranded since June due to safety issues with their Boeing spacecraft. The astronauts were initially on a mission expected to last 10 days but have faced over three months in space due to technical problems with the Boeing Starliner, which has delayed their return until February 2025. Williams has experienced health challenges, including bone density loss and radiation exposure, during her extended stay. Despite these difficulties, both astronauts continue to conduct maintenance and scientific work on the ISS.
