Astronauts traveled about 17 hours to reach Earth from ISS


Two American astronauts stranded on the International Space Station returned safely to Earth after 9 months.
The astronauts who went to the International Space Station (ISS) on an eight-day mission in June 2024 have finally returned safely to Earth after 9 months.
American astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams arrived at the ISS in June 2024 on the first manned flight of Boeing's Starliner spacecraft but were forced to stay at the station due to a technical problem in the spacecraft.
NASA had decided to keep the astronauts on the International Space Station and announced that the two would return on SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft.
On Tuesday, the spacecraft Dragon capsule brought Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams back to Earth after 9 months.
Two more NASA astronauts have also returned with them from the International Space Station.
According to foreign media reports, SpaceX's Dragon capsule, carrying American astronauts, landed safely in the sea near the coast of Florida.
The astronauts traveled about 17 hours to reach Earth from the International Space Station.
The American astronauts said they enjoyed the mission, Sunita Williams called the space station her best place.
It is pertinent to note that this mission arrived at the ISS with people in September 2024 and has now returned to Earth with the astronauts trapped in space for 9 months.
The couple, who were trapped in space for a long time, conducted scientific experiments there during this period while also participating in the repair of the ISS.
Sunita Williams also walked in space.
