Astronauts Sunita Williams, who grew up in Needham, and Butch Wilmore have been living on the space station since June after the Boeing Starliner capsule they arrived on experienced issues while docking.

Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore should have been back to earth nine months ago. However, they have been orbiting the planet aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

The American space agency says NASA’s SpaceX Crew-10 now is targeting no earlier than 7:03 pm on 14 March as the window for launch of the Transporter-13 mission.
