  • The Crew-10 mission will send four astronauts to the space station to take over for Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams' crew, finally allowing their return home.

The article discusses SpaceX's upcoming Crew-8 mission, which is set to launch on February 22, 2024, from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This mission will facilitate a crew swap, allowing NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who have been aboard the International Space Station (ISS) since March 2023, to return to Earth. The Crew-8 mission will carry NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, Jeanette Epps, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin to the ISS. This mission is part of NASA's ongoing efforts to maintain a continuous human presence in space, with the crew expected to spend about six months on the ISS conducting various scientific experiments and maintenance tasks. The return of Wilmore and Williams will mark the end of their extended mission, which was initially planned for a shorter duration but was extended due to various operational considerations.
