Sunita and Bush have been stranded in space for the last 80 days.

Indian-American astronaut Sunita Williams and her partner Bush Wilmore will return to Earth in February 2025. US space agency NASA said in a statement on Saturday (August 24).

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said- NASA has decided that Butch and Sunita will return next February on SpaceX’s Dragon (Crew-9) spacecraft. Boeing’s Starliner will return to Earth without a crew.

He said that Boeing worked very hard with NASA to obtain the data, after which this decision was taken. We want to understand the design improvements of Starliner and the root causes of the malfunction. This will ensure that Boeing Starliner will become an important part of our crew to go to the International Space Station (ISS).

Sunita and Wilmore reached the ISS on June 5 on NASA’s Boeing Starliner spacecraft. Both were supposed to return on June 13, but their return was postponed due to a technical fault in the spacecraft.

Why were Sunita and Wilmore sent to the space station
Sunita and Bush Wilmore went on Boeing and NASA’s joint ‘Crew Flight Test Mission’. Sunita was the spacecraft pilot in this. Bush Wilmore, who went with her, was the commander of this mission. Both of them had to return to Earth after staying for 8 days in the International Space Station (ISS).

At the time of launch, Boeing Defense, Space and Security President and CEO Ted Colbert called it a great beginning of a new era of space research. The main objective of this mission was to prove the spacecraft’s ability to carry astronauts to the space station and bring them back.

The astronauts had to do research and several experiments in 8 days on the space station. Sunita and Wilmore are the first astronauts who were sent on space travel through the Atlas-V rocket. During this mission, they also had to fly the spacecraft manually. Many objectives related to the flight test also had to be completed.
