SpaceX launched a mission on Saturday to return two astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who have been stranded on the International Space Station (ISS) since June. The astronauts were left on the ISS after a fault was discovered in Boeing's Starliner, which returned to Earth empty. The Dragon capsule, launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, is expected to dock with the ISS on Sunday. The mission, delayed by Hurricane Helene, will also deliver fresh supplies. NASA and Roscosmos continue their collaboration on ISS missions, with astronauts regularly flying on both Soyuz and Dragon spacecraft.
