NASA has announced that astronauts sunita williams and Barry Wilmore will return to Earth next spring aboard SpaceX's Dragon capsule. This decision came after an extensive evaluation process.

This decision follows a detailed review of the spacecraft and mission requirements. The choice of the Dragon capsule for their return is part of NASA’s efforts to ensure the safety and reliability of crewed spaceflight missions.
