Sunita Williams to return to Earth on March 19. Full details inside

India Today  

After living in space for over eight months, Nasa astronaut Sunita Williams's extended spaceflight mission is set to come to an end in March. Nasa astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Willmore in an exclusive conversation with CNN, from space, said that the Crew-10 mission will launch from Earth on March 12 and dock with the International Space Station for their six-month-long mission. The return of two astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who flew to the International Space Station on Boeing's faulty Starliner capsule last summer, has hinged on the arrival of the Crew-10's four-person crew in order to keep the station's American contingent staffed at normal levels. The decision follows President Donald Trump's abrupt demand to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk last month to bring Wilmore and Williams back to Earth "as soon as possible," pleading for an end to their mission that in large part had already been decided on last year.
