SpaceX successfully launched the Crew-9 mission that aims to bring back two NASA astronauts - Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore- stuck on the International Space Station (ISS) on Saturday, September 28, from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The mission aims to rescue two astronauts currently stranded at the ISS. However, their return is not expected until next year. The launch, initially scheduled for Thursday, faced delays due to Hurricane Helene, which posed a threat to Florida and the southeastern United States. NASA decided to roll the spacecraft back into its hangar as a precaution. After the storm passed, mission teams worked diligently to reset everything at the launchpad on Friday, ensuring a smooth takeoff the following day.
