SpaceX launched its mission tasked with bringing back two Boeing Starliner astronauts from the International Space Station (ISS) next February on Saturday.
SpaceX Dragon spacecraft lifted off from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida at 1:17 p.m., according to NASA. It will take the Crew-9 mission 28.5 hours to dock at the ISS.
SpaceX’s Crew Dragon left Earth with two empty seats for astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who have been docked at the ISS since June. The pair was the first to perform Boeing’s first crewed mission to space.
Initially, their planned lift-off had some bumps in the road. There were multiple delayed attempts because of helium leaks and thruster failures. Finally, they took off to the space station on June 5. They were scheduled to be on ISS for just over a week, but their stay was prolonged for multiple months.
