Key events in the Starliner astronauts' time in space

NASA astronauts Williams and Wilmore arrive at the International Space Station for a trip that was expected to last about a week. The crew faced vehicle troubles before arrival but were able to dock the craft safely.

NASA brings the Starliner back to Earth empty after delaying the crew’s return several times and eventually deeming it too risky to attempt to bring the astronauts home aboard the spacecraft.

SpaceX Crew-9 docks at the International Space Station. The spacecraft has two empty seats for Williams and Wilmore to occupy when Crew-9 finishes its mission in early 2025. In the meantime, the astronauts assume routine duties at the orbiting laboratory.

The SpaceX Crew-10 mission, carrying a fresh team of astronauts that will live and work for months in space, docks at the International Space Station, paving the way for Crew-9 to return to Earth with Williams and Wilmore.
