NASA astronaut Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore will undock from the International Space Station (ISS) today at 10:35 AM IST after a nine-month overstay. Originally planned as an eight-day mission, their return was delayed due to technical issues with Boeing’s Starliner capsule. SpaceX’s Crew Dragon, deployed as a contingency, will bring them back. The astronauts are expected to splash down in the Gulf of Mexico at 3:27 AM IST on Wednesday. NASA will live stream their journey, with medical checks scheduled post-landing at Johnson Space Center. Their return marks a crucial moment in space travel logistics.
