Elon Musk’s company SpaceX will help NASA rescue two astronauts trapped on the International Space Station (ISS) and bring them back to Earth early next year.
Commander Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Pilot Sunita “Suni” Williams have been on the ISS since June. They had initially arrived for an eight-day mission, but they were unable to return due to problems with their Boeing Starliner spacecraft.
Wilmore and Williams are expected to return next February on a Crew Dragon capsule manufactured by SpaceX, NASA announced on Saturday (August 24).
