NASA astronaut Sunita Williams, 59, and Butch Wilmore, 62, are returning to Earth after a nine-month mission aboard the ISS, extended due to technical issues with Boeing’s Starliner. Their spacecraft is set to splash down off Florida’s coast. After landing, they will undergo medical checks for microgravity effects before heading to NASA’s Johnson Space Center for debriefings. Williams looks forward to reuniting with family and her two dogs. Astronauts often face dizziness and muscle atrophy after extended space missions.
