Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore should have been back to earth nine months ago. However, they have been orbiting the planet aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

Indian-American astronaut Sunita Williams and her colleague Butch Wilmore have been aboard the International Space Station (ISS) for nine months, despite originally planning to stay for just eight days.

After a long nine-month stay at the International Space Station (ISS), NASA astronaut Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore were to finally return to Earth aboard SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft. But just an hour before lift-off, the space agency announced that they have decided to “stand down” the March 12 Crew-10 mission.
