SpaceX Capsule Arrives to Finally Relieve Stranded Crew on ISS Space Station

The pair of astronauts stranded aboard the International Space System will finally be coming home after an unforeseen 9 additional months in space.
They are being taken home by SpaceX Crew 10 Mission, which also delivered their replacements to the ISS.
Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams arrived at the ISS in June 2024 on the test flight of the Boeing Starliner capsule, but technical problems with the Starliner left them stranded. Instead, their ride home was decided to be the SpaceX Crew 9 capsule, docked at the ISS since September.
But they couldn’t leave until Crew 10 arrived to relieve Crew 9, which just happened after they blasted off from the Kennedy Space Center aboard a Falcon 9 rocket.
To fill the time, the pair were integrated into the work rotation of the entire ISS crew.
Their replacements are made up of Russian Cosmonaut Kirill Peskov, JAXA astronaut Takuya Onishi, and NASA astronauts Nichole Ayers and Misson Commander Anne McClain.
