Will Sunita Williams spend more time in space? 7 months on, NASA astronaut will return only after...

NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore were scheduled to return to Earth in February this year — after the launch of the SpaceX Crew 10 mission. "NASA’s SpaceX Crew-10 now is targeting no earlier than late March 2025 to launch four crew members to the International Space Station," NASA said in a press release on December 17, 2024. "The agency’s SpaceX Crew-9 mission with NASA astronauts Nick Hague, Sunita Williams, Butch Wilmore, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov will return to Earth following the arrival of Crew-10 to the orbital laboratory," NASA said. NASA said the team determined that launching Crew-10 in late March, following completion of the new Dragon spacecraft, "was the best option for meeting NASA’s requirements and achieving space station objectives for 2025."
