A SpaceX crew has successfully docked at the International Space Station (ISS) on Sunday, preparing to bring back two astronauts who have been stranded on the station for several months. The Crew-9 mission, aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, made contact with the ISS at 5:30 PM, following its launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Saturday afternoon. The mission aims to ferry NASA astronaut Sunita "Suni" Williams and her fellow astronaut Butch Wilmore back to Earth after their extended stay aboard the ISS.

Boeing's Starliner capsule embarked on its first crewed test flight to the International Space Station (ISS) on Wednesday, following previous setbacks. The launch is aimed at certifying Boeing as NASA's second commercial operator for ferrying crews to the ISS, joining SpaceX in this critical role.
