**Houston, TX -** NASA is gearing up to bring home astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who have been stranded on the International Space Station (ISS) since a recent technical issue with their original return vehicle. To accommodate the two astronauts, NASA has decided to reduce the number of crew members returning on the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft for the Crew-9 mission.
The original Crew-9 mission was set to bring home four astronauts, but the return crew will now be limited to two. NASA has not yet revealed which two crew members will be returning on the Dragon spacecraft.
The decision to bring back Wilmore and Williams comes after a technical malfunction with their original return vehicle, which has forced them to remain on the ISS. The exact nature of the issue has not been publicly disclosed.
NASA assures the public that both astronauts are in good health and spirits, and all necessary measures are being taken to ensure a safe return to Earth. The rescue mission is expected to take place within the next few days.
