Astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore have safely returned to Earth after a nine-month mission to the International Space Station. The duo, along with NASA’s Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov, flew to space aboard a Boeing Starliner on June 5, 2024, and returned in SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft on March 19, 2025. The spacecraft deployed parachutes and splashed down off Florida’s coast. Williams, seen waving and giving thumbs-up, underwent a deorbit burn before a successful splashdown. They are now headed for a 45-day rehabilitation program.
