NASAโ€™s Stuck Astronautsโ€™ Rescue! SpaceX Crew-10 Docks at ISS to Retrieve Sunita Williams & Wilmore
NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, who were stranded aboard the International Space Station (ISS) for nine months due to a malfunction in their Starliner spacecraft, have finally welcomed their rescue team. A SpaceX Crew Dragon carrying the Crew-10 team successfully docked with the ISS at 05:45 GMT on Sunday, marking the beginning of their long-awaited return mission. Live footage captured the emotional reunion as Williams and Wilmore embraced Crew-10 members after months of uncertainty. Originally scheduled for a brief mission, the duo was forced to extend their stay when their spacecraft was deemed unsafe for reentry. NASA had to send additional supplies to sustain them during the unexpected extension. #Crew10Launch #SunitaWilliams #SpaceXCrew10 #NASACrew10 #AstronautRescue #StuckAstronauts #StrandedAstronauts #NASAAstronauts #SpaceMission #Crew10Returns #SpaceXRescue #NASALive #ISSUpdates #AstronautsReturn #SpaceExploration #Crew10Docking Also Read SpaceX, NASA Launch Mission To Bring Home Stranded Astronauts Sunita Williams, Butch Wilmore :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/spacex-nasa-launch-mission-to-bring-home-stranded-astronauts-sunita-williams-butch-wilmore-4095387.html?ref=DMDesc Sunita Williams May Finally Head Home on March 19 as NASA, SpaceX Plan Crew-10 Mission :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/sunita-williams-may-finally-head-home-on-march-19-as-nasa-spacex-plan-crew-10-mission-4094867.html?ref=DMDesc SpaceX Delays ISS Mission To Bring Back Stranded NASA Astronauts Sunita Williams, Butch Wilmore :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/spacex-delays-iss-mission-to-bring-back-stranded-nasa-astronauts-sunita-williams-butch-wilmore-4094013.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~PR.152~
