The crew-swap mission will enable NASA’s Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to return home from the International Space Station.

NASA and SpaceX were on track to launch NASA's Crew-10 astronauts to the space station Friday night in a mission that will also aim to return Starliner astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore.

NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams arrived at the ISS aboard Boeing's Starliner spacecraft last June. The duo were flying the capsule's first crewed flight test, which was expected to stay in orbit for about 10 days before flying the pair back to Earth.
