  • NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore are expected to return home after spending nine months in orbit.

The article from MSN discusses the upcoming return of NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore from the International Space Station (ISS) after spending nine months in space. They were launched aboard the Boeing Starliner spacecraft, marking its first crewed test flight. Their mission, which began in April, involved various scientific experiments and maintenance tasks on the ISS. The return journey is set to commence with undocking from the ISS, followed by a descent through Earth's atmosphere, and a parachute-assisted landing in the southwestern United States. This mission is significant as it tests the Starliner's capabilities for future crewed missions to the ISS, with NASA and Boeing closely monitoring the spacecraft's performance to ensure a safe return for the astronauts.
