India, March 11 -- Indian-origin astronaut Sunita Williams, who embarked on a journey to space last year, which was originally supposed to last eight days, has been there for nine months now.

Williams, along with her fellow astronaut Butch Wilmore, went to the International Space Station aboard a Boeing Starliner on June 5, 2024. However, after the Starliner witnessed helium leaks and other technical glitches after its first crewed mission, the two astronauts got stuck at the ISS.

After a long wait, Williams' return is now in sight as the SpaceX Crew-10 mission is set to launch on either March 12 or 13. Williams and her fellow crewmates at the ISS will head out on March 19 after a week-long handover procedure with the Crew-10.
