NASA makes no changes in plans to return Crew-9 astronauts
Posted: Sat, Feb 1, 2025, 9:37 AM ET (1437 GMT)
NASA effectively ruled out any major changes in plans to return the Crew-9 astronauts from the International Space Station despite comments by President Trump and Elon Musk. NASA said Wednesday that it was working with SpaceX to "expeditiously" return astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore "as soon as practical" on the Crew-9 Crew Dragon that is docked to the station. NASA added that return would take place after a handover to astronauts arriving on the new Crew-10 mission. That is effectively the same plan NASA had before comments by Musk and Trump Tuesday calling for the return of Williams and Wilmore from the station immediately, although the NASA statement does not rule out moving up the Crew-10 launch, currently planned for late March.
