Good news has come about Sunita Williams being trapped in the space station, this new video will make your heart happy.

The way has been cleared for Indian-origin astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, who were stuck in the International Space Station (ISS), to return to Earth. In fact, after months of waiting, NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos astronaut Alexander Gorbunov reached the ISS via the SpaceX Dragon capsule. Williams and Butch have welcomed the SpaceX crew.

NASA has also released a video of the crew with Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, in which both the passengers welcomed Hague and Gorbunov by addressing them through the mic. Both astronauts Sunita and Butch are stranded in the space station since June 2024. SpaceX launched the rescue mission on Saturday. Through this mission, two passengers will return home next year.

NASA issued a statement saying that Hague and Gorbunov entered the ISS after the hatch between the space station and the pressurized mating adapter was opened at 7:04 pm EDT. Hague and Gorbunov were welcomed by the space station's Expedition 72 crew, including NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barrett, Jeanette Epps, Don Pettit, Butch Wilmore, and Sunita Williams, as well as Roscosmos cosmonauts Alexander Grebenkin, Alexey Ovchinin and Ivan Vagner.

What did NASA say?

Sharing a post on Twitter, NASA's Johnson Space Center wrote, "Official Welcome! The crew of Expedition 72 welcomes Crew 9. NASA astronaut Nick Hague, Crew 9 commander, and astronaut Alexander Gorbunov, Crew 9 mission specialist, were welcomed after flight on the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft."

Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore have been on the ISS since June. The pair departed on June 5 for their first crewed flight aboard Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, which arrived at the space station on June 6. It was decided to return the Starliner to Earth without its crew and the spacecraft returned successfully on September 6.

Sunita and Butch will return next year.

At the same time, in August, NASA said that it was too risky to bring Butch Wilmore and Williams back to Earth. Wilmore and Williams formally continued their work as part of the campaign and will return in February next year. This mission of NASA was to be completed in a week, but now it will take about 8 months.
