Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams left the International Space Station after nine months in space, checking out with two other astronauts.

NASA Astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore are finally returning to Earth, after spending over nine months at the International Space Station (ISS).

NASA removed two astronauts from its Crew-9 mission to allow for Williams and Wilmore to join the cohort, and return onboard the SpaceX Dragon − which carries four people at a time. The altered Crew-9 − only Hague and Gorbunov − launched aboard the SpaceX Dragon Freedom in late September.
