A SpaceX capsule is set to rescue two astronauts who have been stranded on the International Space Station on March 19 or 20. They have been there since June 2024.
The astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, were originally scheduled for an eight-day mission. A malfunction occurred in their Boeing Starliner during takeoff, with thruster failures and helium leaks affecting the spacecraft. NASA officials deemed a return too risky and the capsule returned to Earth without Wilmore and Williams.
