SpaceX capsule with retrieved astronauts departs space station

The SpaceX capsule tasked with bringing back two NASA astronauts who have spent months on the International Space Station (ISS) after thruster issues following the launch of Boeing’s Starliner mission last year have now departed for Earth.

Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams undocked early Tuesday from the space-facing port of the ISS Harmony module in the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, NASA confirmed.
