Sunita Williams Landing | NASA Astronauts Sunita Williams & Butch Wilmore Return To Earth

NASA astronaut and Crew-9 commander Nick Hague was the first to emerge from the Dragon capsule with the help of ground crew, almost an hour after the Dragon capsule splashed down off the Florida coast. Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov slid down a ramp coming out of the capsule next, followed by Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore. Following recovery and cooldown procedures, the astronauts began emerging from the capsule, bogged down by gravity after a nine-month stay in space. They left from space on Sunday after being relieved by Crew-10 and splashed down 17 hours after departure from the International Space Station. The astronauts will be taken to Houston in a helicopter for a 45-day rehabilitation programme.
