- Story Text: Residents of Suni Williams' ancestral village in India prayed for the astronaut's safe return to Earth on Tuesday (March 18).
Williams and fellow astronaut Butch Wilmore departed the International Space Station on early Tuesday morning GMT in SpaceX capsule for a long-awaited trip back to Earth, nine months after their faulty Boeing Starliner craft upended what was to be a roughly week-long test mission.
The astronauts are scheduled for a splashdown off Florida's coast later on Tuesday at 5:57 p.m. ET.
