In a remarkable crew-swap mission, a SpaceX capsule successfully docked at the International Space Station (ISS) on Sunday, delivering four astronauts and paving the way for the return of two stuck astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, after nine months in orbit.

The Crew-10 astronauts’ SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Friday at 7:03 p.m. ET and docked at the ISS approximately 29 hours later, at 12:04 a.m. ET (0404 GMT) on Sunday. The seven-member crew of the ISS, including Wilmore and Williams, welcomed the new arrivals.

Wilmore and Williams, veteran NASA astronauts and retired Navy test pilots, have been stranded on the ISS due to problems with Boeing’s Star-liner capsule. Their return to Earth is now imminent, with a scheduled departure on Wednesday at 4 a.m. ET (0800 GMT), alongside NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov.

The Crew-10 mission has been marked by controversy, with President Donald Trump and his adviser Elon Musk, also SpaceX’s CEO, urging a quicker launch and claiming that Trump’s predecessor, Joe Biden, had abandoned Wilmore and Williams on the station for political reasons.

Despite the politics, Wilmore and Williams have continued to conduct scientific research and routine maintenance on the ISS. Williams expressed her excitement about returning home to her family and two dogs, saying, “It’s been a roller coaster for them, probably a little bit more so than for us. “The Crew-10 crew, comprising NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, Japanese astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Russian cosmonaut Kirill Peskov, will spend approximately six months on the ISS.
