How Sunita Williams's 8-day flight turned into a nine-month space struggle

India Today  

Nasa astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore undocked from the International Space Station on Tuesday to return home after spending 286 days in space. Their mission, originally intended as an eight-day test flight aboard Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, faced multiple technical setbacks that prolonged their time in space. By September 2024, Nasa made the decision to send the Starliner back to Earth uncrewed to free up docking space for other missions, effectively stranding Williams and Wilmore on the ISS. A NEW RETURN PLAN As plans for a safe return were developed, Nasa arranged for Williams and Wilmore to return on a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft as part of the Crew-9 mission.
