Sunita Williams’ return: Why was space mission extended? Why is NASA not able to bring her back? Is she happy, healthy?

Live Mint  

NASA astronaut Sunita Williams is still counting her days in space. NASA said earlier that SpaceX Crew-9 mission with NASA astronauts Nick Hague, Sunita Williams, Butch Wilmore, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov will return to Earth only after the arrival of Crew-10 to the orbital laboratory. NASA said the team determined that launching Crew-10 in late March, following the completion of the new Dragon spacecraft, “was the best option for meeting NASA’s requirements and achieving space station objectives for 2025.” How long will Sunita Williams' current mission last? Meanwhile, pictures of Sunita Williams released by NASA last year alarmed netizens who expressed concerns about William's health following her extended stay in space. Earlier, Dana Weigel, manager of the International Space Station, said the fitness routines of the two astronauts, Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, were “adjusted” as they shifted from a short-term mission to a longer-term mission.
