SpaceX Launches Mission to Rescue Stranded NASA Astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore
Sep 28, 2024, 05:49 PM
SpaceX has launched a mission to rescue two NASA astronauts who have been stranded on the International Space Station (ISS) since June 2024. The astronauts, Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, originally traveled to the ISS aboard Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, which has faced multiple issues. The rescue mission, launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, involves a Falcon rocket carrying a downsized crew and two empty seats on a Dragon capsule that will eventually bring the astronauts back to Earth in 2025. The mission is critical as it aims to safely return the astronauts after an unexpected extended stay in orbit.
